I would like to see more parents take an active role in preparing their young children for school. Would it be possible to publicize more of the available services through the local pediatricians and health department offices? Perhaps it could be made mandatory for families receiving social services to enroll in a class that would encourage reading to small children and promote the existing head start programs. Unfortunately, there are too many parents who cannot read themselves and therefore they continue the cycle by not instilling a desire to learn in their children.
