Many of the kids discussed here are far ahead of the curriculum anyway, even without "learn to read" programs, so I suspect that's not going to be a terribly persuasive argument. It's all-too-common a notion that our kids should fit the curriculum insted of the other way around. frown

I'm with you about parents not pushing, but not for that reason. Kids who are ahead of the curriculum should have the right to learn something new, too.
