Books are the quietest and most constant of friends, they are the most accessible and wisest of all counselors and the most patient of teachers. Charles W. Elio
What we see around today is saddening, children, teenager’s, young adults are unable to express themselves properly in English and have no desire to read. Most schools have no library. Parents who are supposed to inculcate the habit of reading into their children are busy pursuing money.

Children are left to themselves and television. The only time you see children with books at home is when they have home work, television and phones preoccupies them all day. Only three things captivates them listening to music watching cartoons , films, or playing video games not educative films but sex,violence and criminal films. The film hero is a criminal with lots of money, the minds of our children are not positively challenged again. In my growing up days we even wrote essay on the films we went watching on Thursdays.

I wonder if I can disagree with you.
