They just won’t leave our kids alone will they.

It irks me to no end that on a subject like a prescription drug, you have to jump through 7 years of experimental and proving trial hoops, but for some starry eyed bullshit a teacher dreams up, with a few votes, it gets to get tested out on your KIDS.
My wife was, as a child, a straight “A” student, until some criminal moron in the Fremont CA school district decided that putting some star pupils in with the remedial/screwup classes would “rub off” on the losers. You can guess at the result of that, (though in spite of it, and not getting a college degree, she made it to corporate controller level in accounting).
ANYTHING other than how kids were taught the basics and problem solving along with shop skills 75+ years ago should be off limits until at LEAST ONE GENERATION of teachers and administrators children have had it “tested out” on them.
“Old School” worked, along with discipline in school. “New School” merely produces (for a large and increasing part) mindless consumers and statist voters...
