My Friends,
I hope I don't get thrown off the boards forever for what I am about to say. The only problems with the school system and what they teach is what we have allowed to happen. Most of us are older folks as I have been able to gather, and as baby-boomers we have sired one of the worst generations of children known to mankind. Mostly, we grew up in the world of hard knocks and knew we had to learn in school and work hard for our living and by getting there we "swore" that our children wouldn't have to do that. And by gosh they don't have sense enough to keep a spouse, to run the humongous corporations they have taken over from us, or anything else. You and I had these children and did not raise them properly because we were too busy busting our butts for everything that we gave them on the silver platter. Now our grand children, bless their baggy pants and their pink and blue hair with all their nose rings and other hardware in God only knows what body parts are starting to look to us (grandparents) so some stability and guidance because they realize their parents don't have time for them much less any insight as to what the real world is really like. We cannot blame the school system nor the teachers for the shortcomings of our kids now. We can only blame those that we "raised" and have left in charge. I've got a couple or those pierced, baggy britchs kids in my family who have chosen to be smart, respectful and inquisitive enough to get their scholarships to college and have a never ending desire, it seems, to learn. They went through all the divorces and big money jobs of their parents and have managed to survive so far by seeing what their grandparents have done not what their parents have screwed up!
