densed version:

"Now the lawyers have invented ed-
ucational malpractice. Two school districts
have had civil suits filed against them
for 'negligence' because they graduated
students who cannot read.

“Educational malpractice suits as-
sume that parents and students can shrug
off responsibility for learning. The
idea is 'Enroll ‘em and forget 'em.' At
the age of six the parents turn over their
