I see the same problem here in NC with my daughters school. Their current project is to build a lighthouse. The "rubric" (WFT is that???- Oh, right, the boxed deal that tells how many points they get for this and that) calls for them to wire it with a 'serial' or parrallel circuit. Now what 4th grader is qualified, of needs to know how to do electrical wiring? Then they throw in things like the latest and greatest ways to do math problems. Thing is if the child doesn't understand the problems the parents can't help because they don't understand it themselves as that isn't the way they were taught.
In the end what I see is they are expecting the kids to grow up and be able to do things at an age of 5 to 10 that we didn't do until middle, or often high school level. Funny thing I saw an add yesterday where they were saying that a study had found that young kids having recess was a good thing, and actually helped with their learning ability as teaching them how to interact socially. It's sad that our current educators have somehoe turned their backs on, and somehow forgotten things that have worked for millenia. What idiots, and they are the ones teaching our kids..........

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
