"There is nothing which an better deserve our patronage than the promotion of science and literature. Knowledge is in every country the surest basis of public happiness."-George Washington (Address to Congress, January 8, 1790)
Public school will be, to some, their only exposure to a system of education. If the educational system has failed to teach them how to read, or inspire to self-educate, then the system has failed them.
Learning is supposed to be fun...
While it's true that some things can be difficult/stressful to learn, if all the student remembers from school is anguish or boredom then how likely will he be to pickup a book later on in life?
“In a world in transition, students and teachers both need to teach themselves one essential skill—learning how to learn.”-Carl Sagan
