isabella,

We feel the same way about writing and our wish for everyone to get the same pleasure we do from it.

I love reading, there’s actually a magic behind when you got to read a lot. I hope all people especially the kids would appreciate how magical reading is.

Doug,

That is interesting. I hadn’t known that, but it makes sense that dictatorial regimes would demand that the people be educated and indoctrinated. Where people have more freedom, they also have more responsibility for their own success.

Interesting fact: North Korea – one of the worst dictatorships in the world – has one of the highest literacy rates in the world.

I was quite suprised when I found that out.

It made me do some reading and I found out some of the least free nations boast the highest literacy rates. Not because of fiddled stats but because of heavily enforced and ideological literacy programs.

ryan,

If people are able to function where they live and work, that’s one thing. It’s the people who try to live and work in society and can’t function well that really need to become literate. Anyone who interacts with the larger society needs to understand and speak English.
