  • So where does parental responsibility play out in the lives of these children? I don't know about New York, but in my city there are places where kids can get free tutoring - especially in the inner city. I assume there are libraries in New York? Don't the libraries have reading programs? Libraries also have free Internet - and there are free reading programs online (Progressive Phonics). The kids get through high school without knowing how to read - how does a parent not know this?
