The fact is that our kids aren't reading books - or frankly, much of anything lately. Schools are under funded, some schools even closing their libraries. Parents have to realize that it's their job, and not the school's job, to get kids into the habit of reading for fun.

  • -- James Patterson 詹姆斯·帕特森

事实上,我们的孩子不读书——或者坦白地说,最近什么都不读书。学校资金不足,一些学校甚至关闭了图书馆。家长们必须意识到,让孩子们养成读书取乐的习惯是他们的工作,而不是学校的工作。
