Tamar,

Thank you for your reply. It seems to me you may have mentioned this in one of your columns. Regardless, you're a pretty impressive person considering all that you're involved in professionally and otherwise.

I didn't intend to imply that helping children learn to read was the "only" way. I did say in my post to David "such as" parents as teachers.....

Keep up the good fight.

This year, I'm co-president of an organization that is the umbrella group for the PTO's in our school district. So while I don't work with kids directly, the things our group does directly impact all the children in our district.
