YAY, Karin!!! Hey, are you going to give me a call this weekend or something??
We are still unpacking boxes, but maybe we can do coffee, lunch or something??
My mom was a teacher and they kept winnowing down what she taught to her classes because “it was too much for the kids to learn” so by the time she retired the stuff she had been teaching her Freshmen students was being taught to the Seniors and they still didn’t know half the stuff they should.
Biggest problem with the schools IMHO is that the administrators are too focused on political correctness and social agendas. We have to teach the kids abut multi-cculturalism, tollerance, sex education, ect. instead of just teaching them english, history, math and government and logical thinking (speach and debate).
Best teacher I ever had was a history teacher tha told us a the begining of the semester “I will lie to you in this course, it’s your job to prove that I’m lying”
He made us think and use facts and logic to prove our points and be able to discuss a subject instead of just saying (like I hear sooooo often from kids) “Well, I think” or “Well, I feel”. Great, kid, I’m glad you feel – now can you prove it?
Keep the faith FondaHonda, it’s has to swing back the other direction some time. That’s how the world works 🙂
