I have a theory about this: Parenting decisions and changing education mandates aside, one of the (many) reasons for the fall in children's literacy is because reading is less of a focus in children's and teen's media. (cont.)

Why can't the kids read anymore?
Do schools still have libraries?
Do the parents give a single fuck about their children?
How are children starting school completely unable to read at 5 years old?
Read to your toddler! Make them read to you! Stop intellectually neglecting your children!!!
