As a child, toy stores weren’t as exciting as book stores. My parents would take us to book stores and let us pick two to three books of our choice. My mother was a literature teacher and always loved a good read and we’d follow by example and try to be immersed in our readings as much as she would be.
I would pick anything from short stories, Tintin comic books, to religious or literary pieces like David Copperfield. Sometimes, we’d give a brief explanation of our choices and my parents would always follow up on our reading progress and we’d give little book reports over dinner or in carpools.
I’ve slowly come to realize how reading seems to have become a rare notion among children and even adults. Most will choose any kind of activity over reading a book and will even call book lovers various interesting names. Writing skills of adults is even a complete disaster and most don’t seem to grasp the concept of grammar let alone properly utilize it.
Obviously from such adults will stem such children and an apple won’t fall very far from the tree. I am always surprised by parents thinking that a grade three child’s C average is perfectly acceptable and there is no reason to be alarmed. This must have much to do with the careless attitude and lack of emphasis on learning, reading and writing at home.
Kids barely go through their homework before jumping in front of the television or playing with their video games. Some don’t even complete their homework at all and will have their parents spend hard earned money on tutoring services. Soccer games, and birthday parties take immediate precedence over homework and learning in general. Obviously all these would be signs that learning, reading and writing is not emphasized as much as it should be and they don’t seem to be half as enjoyable as other activities.
There are so many options for fun and easy reads, to encourage getting kids away from distractions. Activities, adventure books, short stories or even sweet and innocent comic books such as Mutts
would be absolutely great. In fact, I personally recommend Mutts to absolutely anyone who wants to smile and cherish the innocence of life and animals.
The options are endless and most librarians or book store associates are able to recommend reads for kids and people of all ages. Of course, the internet is also a great source for parents to research and decide which books to buy.
Ultimately, we should place prime importance on reading and writing from an early age and lead by example. Otherwise, we really shouldn’t expect miracles or be surprised when C averages will drop even further as the years go by. The sources are readily available to increase potential but do most really care?

“The nations morals are like its teeth, the more decayed they are the more it hurts to touch them.” – George Bernard
“Man must cease attributing his problems to his environment, and learn again to exercise his will – his personal responsibility in the realm of faith and morals.” – Albert Schweitzer
“Morals are private. Decency is public.” – Rita Mae Brown
“When there is a lack of honor in government, the morals of the whole people are poisoned.” – Herbert Hoover
“Because just as good morals, if they are to be maintained, have need of the laws, so the laws, if they are to be observed, have need of good morals.” – Niccolo Machiavelli
“To educate a man in mind and not in morals is to educate a meance to society.” – Theodore Roosevelt
“Morals are an acquirement – like music, like a foreign language, like piety, poker, paralysis – no man is born with them.” – Mark Twain
“We have always known that heedless self-interest was bad morals; we now know that it is bad economics.” – Franklin D. Roosevelt
“Morals, however, remain invaluable: they reveal, at least for those who know, the most valuable realities of cultures which did not know enough to “understand” themselves. At all times they have wanted to “improve” men: this above all was called morality.” – Friedrich Nietzsche
“Respect for ourselves guides our morals, respect for others guides our manners.” – Laurence Sterne
“If a man is good in his heart, then he is an ethical member of any group in society. If he is bad in his heart, he is an unethical member. To me, the ethics of medical practice is as simple as that.” – Dr. Elmer Hess

At least we will be able to prevent the advent of negative conduct dominated by negative emotion. That is ’shila’, or moral ethics. Once we develop this by familiarizing ourselves with it, along with mindfulness and conscientiousness, eventually that pattern and way of life will become a part of our own life.” – Dalai Lama
