One Idea from "State of the Union"

Yes, our students should be achieving higher ratings in science and math, but President Obama left out the key to such success: READING. To understand the science textbook and those paragraph problems in algebra, a student needs to read well, to be in full command of his language, with knowledge too of using a dictionary. He might even learn something from a poorly written history book. And confidence in his good reading ability will give him self-confidence and help him stay out of trouble with the law.

What a chance the president missed.
