We keep tolerating this because we are, collectively, idiots. We buy into it and argue in favor of it for the same reason.

It’s a real shame.

Is it really "their" (who is they?) problem when the child gets to 3rd grade and they can't read? It's really the child's problem, they just don't know it yet.
