I am not crying over the removal of Catcher in the Rye (which I thought was pretentious tripe when I read as a teenager back in the day when dinosaurs roamed the Earth), but Recommended Levels of Insulation and the Invasive Plant Inventory as replacements?

Geeze, Louise. I think the objective must be to raise a generation of kids that hate reading. I cannot imagine anything less motivating than assigning bureacrateze to schoolkids.

*Another* reason to homeschool.

Guess I get to look forward to grandchildren who are as dumb as a bag of hammers.

By the time they hit school age (I still have teens) the curriculum will consist of looking at pictures and pressing buttons.
