Tim,
I have two children raised in the same home under the same conditions.  =
One is a born reader, one is not.  Recently I was shocked by another =
parents attitude when were were debating the merits of a teacher.  I liked =
him because he had given a spark to my non-reader and now I will find her =
reading for pleasure.  This parent replied with how she didn't think =
reading for pleasure was important.  Big deal.  She didn't enjoy reading.  =
Is reading for pleasure important?  Why?  Why is this a skill that I am =
happy that my children, and I have.  Anyway Tim, don't look to closely at =
the milkman.  We are all our own person.
