see Standardized testing for students

Down in South America, in one of the Country's about a seventy years ago, illiteracy was high and they decided to try each one teach one a slogan from the President's offices, but an ancient form of self help maybe from Africa originally.

The grandfather was helping the little grand daughter diligently and in a few weeks she had surpassed him in reading. The grandfather was sad and a little embarrassed by this and expressed it to the grand daughter. The girl began each day to help the Grand Father so he could later help others as he had her. In time they would read when together and he would tell her about the children he was helping and she would tell him about the various people she was helping to learn to read or learn to read better. She always credited the grand father for helping her to learn to read.
