When you demonstrate that you actually understood what I wrote (instead of responding with something I never said or implied), I would try to answer you.
Giving kids free books solves both problems--no books and parents not willing or able to get books.
No you wouldn't. At least you never have. And even if you did answer. Someone that thinks others lie is only describing her own MO. I wouldn't expect anything from you.

A lot of Americans have serious money problems.
However, ongoing poverty does, I think, contribute to the situation - if more options were available, perhaps the parents would have had a better environment during their own formative period.A lot of Americans have serious problems in many areas demonstrated by their lack of parenting skills, lack of concern for their child's education and lack of self-control. Money is one of the LAST reasons why a child comes to school significantly less educated than his peers.

Attention grabbing nonsense. It's sounds like something a conservative would come up with to parody his skewed perception of liberal thinking.
For some... look, books are there for those that want them. Libraries, book sales were they are .50 cents and garage sales are all over the place. Most ignorant and uneducated parents simply will not read to their kids no matter what. I have many students that will recieve an insult or a punch before anything else... they eat candy or chips and drink soda for breakfast every day.
Yep -- and one of the biggest problems with the kids I teach --- lack of sleep.
If your parents has read to you when you were a kid, you'd know. :2razz:
I'm not sure if you structured your sentence this way on purpose or not.
I should take a picture of all the books I've read aloud to my class this year. It's a massive pile.
Here are a few of the favorites this year:
