An organized effort to knock the caring, curiosity, creativity, civic responsibility and natural interest in learning, and other sensitivities developed by an education -- performed by dedicated lard asses who like to climb out of the pit and then pull the ladder they used up after their exit.
"Weekly Reader" was great and I couldn't wait to get mine. Our class would go over the news of the day, sanitized, but we all were focused on the same issues and developed a compassion for the people in other parts of the planet. Same with the WR Book Club. My parents encouraged me to read all I wanted.
My mom also supplemented my interests with "Highlights for Children" and its Goofus & Gallant feature. Wish one set of parents in the Bronx had done the same.
