Yep.
To me the bottom line is this: No matter what books they give you in school, if those are the only books you ever read, you will be sorely lacking.
So if you don't cultivate an appetite for knowledge within your child, an intellectual curiousity and desire to read on his/her own, then the battle is already lost.
