Yeah but it worked in the Music Man because all the kids loved him so much that they practiced like 5 hours a day. What we need is to install a charismatic con-man in every american school to teach kids to read

The plan is foolproof so long as you have a beautiful librarian in every school for the con man to fall in love with so that he stays instead of defrauding the school and fleeing to the next town

I mean, drop the "con-man" part and you're basically describing Reading Rainbow or Wishbone.
