In Center, a small town in the San Luis Valley, the district uses online courses to teach physics and calculus so it can free up money for the 33 percent of students who are learning English.

How many times have I posted on FR that my grandkids can't learn that 6 X 6 = 36 because the teachers are too busy teaching Juan and Maria to say "goodbye" instead of "adios".

We didn't have these problems in the 40's and 50's when I went to school because if you couldn't cut the mustard, you simply were not allowed in school.

Thats the way it should be now.
