"It's not the pandemic," my friend Mary shook her head at breakfast this morning. "Reading scores are not coming up, and I know why."
"Kids aren't reading, right?" I said.
"AND," she added, "their parents aren't reading. Most kids never see an adult with a book outside of a classroom."
"It's all screens," I agreed.
"That's right," she nodded. "When I go to any waiting room, the kids are all looking at their phones, and so are the adults." She sighed. "We can't fix that at school."
Hmm. Mary could be onto something.
