IT is not enough to read and write. One must read with comprehension, understanding what is being said, discerning the real, the nuances, the hyperboles, the untruths and the fantasies. But most of all reading is to learn about the world, the extent of human knowledge, the beauty of Nature, the reason and color of different cultures, and the range of life's possibilities. It can also entertain along with the other factors.

The crisis in our present education system has been underlined by how our young do not comprehend what they are reading. This lack of understanding which should become the basis of discernment and the ability to judge sets back the child in life. It is also a great hindrance to learning what needs to be learned. It will leave the child, the adult, the citizen, the voter, the worker and professional, the 21st-century person unable to cope, and live fully and confidently in his everyday life.
