As I'm sure you can imagine back in the day most of us didn't have a lot of money for books or reading materials. I was looking enough to grow up with public libraries nearby once I finally moved out of New York City to New Jersey I loved going to the library all the time. We were also lucky enough to have elementary schools that had physicians and optometrists come in to check our eyesight. I had glasses at an early age. Which really helped me read the blackboards and improved my education. There are so many things that we don't realize that are necessary for our children. God bless America we have free schooling and public libraries and mostly great teachers haha . I remember some really great ones. I wish I could thank them today

What a beautiful post. I read early too, did NOT have books in our home. Read the Columbus Dispatch before I went to first grade. We both were blessed with an ability in that area. I think that your post proves that there are also so many things that are NOT necessary for our children and that you cannot hold a lively intellect back from learning, no matter if they are poor as I was too. And sadly, the opposite is true. I wish we could identify and be compassionate about the true strengths and weaknesses of all people.
