[QUOTE="Lothlorien, post: 38899, member: 1024"] If it helps a few children, I think it's okay. I would feel bad for those who have to take off from work and lose pay, but if a child is illiterate and the parents are forced to look at ways to fix it, then it's good. I do see your point, Janet. I do, but I just can't help but think...if one child is saved, if 10 children learn to read, if ten parents learn how to be a more positve role model for their children then that's a good thing. I think the schools have tried everything else, so they are now resorting to this. It's not perfect by any means, but it's something. I have to say that I have attended a few of the free work shops offered for the entire grade, by the school. Out of 210 kids, only about 15 parents showed up each time. It's free, at night and they offer free childcare by the teachers in another room. I think that's pathetic. That doesn't mean that they are poor parents or lacking in parental skills, but c'mon....15 parents for 210 kids? [/QUOTE]
