What My Parents Did

Growing up I was fortunate enough to have parents that truly cared about the positive influence reading has on a young child. Also, and fortunately as well, I was introduced to reading and writing before entering the 1st grade. Although these readings and writings were limited to the Church, I felt nonetheless, that I had a knack for reading comprehension, and overall enjoyed what tales my mother and father had told me. Contrary to my experience, are those who are not as privileged to have been brought up in this world with the proper guidance as I did. In this day and age, parent would rather plop their children in front of a television and resume their mundane existences as poor parents. This instability akin to lower-class families put's a strangle-hold on the modern education system in the form of poor concentration and separation from societal standards associated with reading and writing. As well as these new-age inexperienced parents that flood the education system with improperly learned students, so does the misconception that technology has the power to educate young minds. Tools of the age are available that may sort this issue; devices such as Kindle, Ebooks, and Nooks are all appropriate learning devices that have recently became available for learners of all ages.
As a product of the middle-class nuclear family, my family succumbed to the "maintown" ways of teaching me the necessity of language and language arts. My conforming to the socioeconomic norms of my class adhered to the principles in which I shall practice one day on my own children.
