No argument. For too long, parents have been giving up their role in educating and motivating our children, leaving it to overworked hired hands or worse, to small, rectangular screens. Many of my generation survived to go on to higher education, degrees and successful careers, even in the face of classes with 60+ children and few, if any fancy aids or computers. Our parents cared enough and made our getting an education a personal priority. My family taught and motivated me to read before first grade. I was very lucky.

Unfortunately, a generation or two of parents and teachers came up during a period when the basics of reading, composition, and grammer were deprecated even in higher education. As a result, functionally illiterate children are unable to develop other critical skills because they can’t read or understand what has been written. If one can read well, they can learn to do practically anything else. Reading is truly the key to the universe. Motivation is the engine that gets you there.

For books to be a priority on Molokai, teachers must first learn how to motivate their students to actually read them. Not as easy as it might sound.

Not sure how our generation ever made it to majority without state supported softball for either gender…guess that’s why we are so psycho-socially tweaked. Better tweaked than “zucked”. Considering what a black hole for funding the schools are, the priorities seem to be pretty zucked up these days. How about books and some of the supplies teachers have to go “out-of-pocket” for?

Congrats and thank you to the homeowners who had the courage to pursue justice! HOA’s are quai-governments without government controls, and once you’ve been burned by one, you NEVER want to live in one again. Every time an HOA loses in court, homeowners everywhere benefit and stand a better chance of winning back their rights someday.
