I don't think there's the intent to 'push' anything on children per say, but parents do have to realize that there's a responsibility to educate your child upto, and beyond the school systems. I too read at a higher level than my peers at an early age, and I credit my parents for keeping me interested in reading, and other activities.
There was never any pressure on me, and it kept me interested. I think that's the intent of the OP. Not to 'force' reading on their child, but to provide other oppertunities to learn.
And for what it's worth... I do have a cousin who went throught the public school system, not too sure to what point, but is in his 40's and can't read... so the idea that regular school systems work on thier own... I have a hard time buying that.
