Opportunity Lost

I found the article to be very upsetting. The fact that children of the age of five can't recognize letters is astonishing to me. I knew that education was a big issue in Memphis, but it was shocking to see how low we ranked nationally. It was very interesting to learn that pre-school and early education have such a profound effect on students. Reading that Gov. Phil Bredesen say that early education is his highest priority is very reassuring to me! Overall, I found the article to be very informative.
