Hopefully the teacher’s unions will screw themselves out of jobs and parents will seriously turn to home schooling. The one room schoolhouse doesn’t seem too bad now does it? Readin’ ‘riten’ and ‘rithmatic w/o the propaganda fillers. For the most part colleges are little more than structured reading programs with an occasional frat house beer bust type discussion group thrown in. Professional studies excepted.

I was in college in the late 60s and early 70s, and that is when the rot began. You started to hear talk that standards were racist, and that the main purpose of a teacher was to be a "friend" to students.
