So basically, the school-to-prison pipeline without extra steps.
2/3 of kids who aren’t reading proficiently by 4th grade end up in prison or on welfare.
Why give them books and librarians and reading specialists to bring them up to speed? Just gettin’ the lil’ buggers accustomed to their future conditions, dontchaknow!
