Children Learn to Read .
By Monique Michael This paper was part of a recent public seminar at the Aesthetic Realism Foundation, a not-for profit educational foundation at 141 Greene Street, in New York City. The purpose of all education is to like the world. And contempt causes every cruelty, including racism and the hideous injustice of the profit system from which millions of children are suffering. I teach in East Harlem in one of the poorest neighborhoods of New York City. The first grade students I met last year have been horribly brutalized by our ugly, unjust profit economy.
