Los Angeles: 'California isn't doing enough to teach kids how to read, lawsuit says'

Post by Debbie_Hepplewhite »

This piece in the Los Angeles Times is very interesting and worrying:
California isn't doing enough to teach kids how to read, lawsuit says
http://www.latimes.com/local/education/ ... story.html
Too many California children can’t read, and the state doesn’t have an adequate plan to fix the problem, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday.

The complaint, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court by the advocacy law firm Public Counsel, alleges that the state is not meeting its constitutional responsibility to educate all children.

California lags behind the national average in both reading and writing for fourth- and eighth-graders, according to national education data.
