And it shouldn't be skull.
But it is mine. I poll each of my students each year to see what books they have read for pleasure. 99% say "zero".
We just started a summer reading list last year. The books are easy and interesting. Only a small fraction of our students participated.
Schools can not raise reading scores without any independent reading. I don't know how that can change.
Schools can not teach Algebra and Physics to students who have yet to learn their multiplication facts. High School teachers should not be making flash cards for 17 year olds.
These are areas where learning must take place outside the classroom.
Accountability needs to include students and parents in order to have any meaningful impact on achievement.
