But when kids are no longer learning the three R's but are given anti bullying instruction where 12 year old girls are forced to ask another girl for a kiss by college students There is something wrong with schools.For every generation of school kids there has been a simplistic seeming idea to help those who required it and promote diversity. In each generation there were the older generation who frowned upon what the school where doing.......
In the 60's it was the beatnik kids, the '70's long haired hippies, the 80's had the yuppies and so on and for each generation there was a new way of teaching and learning... may I point to the learning by colour system that some kids never recovered from.
I guess the complainers above need to ask themselves when they grew up into grumpy of men and women who don't understand the younger generations or that its a very different world with very different expectations to 10 or 20 years ago
I am picturing some of you as Howard and Marion Cunningham from Happy Days instead of the sexy smut writing people you are ... lol
When courts say schools can ban American flags because it might incite violence some things wrong.
When kids are not taught basic cursive something is wrong
When kids are forced to read one religions holy book but are suspended and arrested for mentioning another religion some things wrong
When children are suspended for eating a pop tart into the shape of pastry some things wrong.
When a kindergartener is suspended and labeled a sex offender because he hugged a classmate, some things wrong.
When a kid is suspended from school and arrested because he found a gun on the street and took it so no one could use it and turned it over to the resource officer some things wrong
When a school tells the parents of a deaf kid to change his name because when signing his name his hand looks life,e a gun some things wrong
When a high school student wears a shirt proclaiming his support of the US Marines and gets expelled because there was a gun on the shirt some things wrong
When teachers are not allowed to fail a student some things wrong
When teachers are told that they can't grade homework assignments somethings wrong
I could go on and on and on... but I think you get my point. The problems in our schools are not because of new learning methods parents don't understand, or just wishing things were like they were back when...
There are real problems in our schools that need people,e to stand up and tell politicians of all stripes to stay the fuck out of schools and led educators educate our children.
The best things you can teach your child is to think for themself, and critical thinking skills. Not how to follow the other lemmings off a cliff. /rant
