I share your frustration about children missing out on learning, but you would likely be amazed at how many adults can't read or write well. The parent(s) of these children may have had so much difficulty in school that picking up a book is a dreadful experience for them.
I've met many adults here in Maine who do a great job of hiding their lack of ability to read, and you'd never know about their limitation. So the situation at home mght be a little bit more complicated than it apepars.
