I am sorry to seem so critical, it’s just I deal with the back end so much in what I do. If I can spare anybody the same fate, then I will do what I can.

You’ve done right by your kids, but sadly not everyone cares or even understands what the education establishment is teaching kids these days.

And then folks have to go back and clean it up, if they are lucky.

No big deal. We worked our way through it.

Well I thank you for that.

Man, you don't have to tell me about the failings of our public school system. By the time I got out of HS I was so disillusioned with public education that it's not even funny. That was what really motivated me to teach my kids myself rather than have public schools fail in the attempt like they did with some of my classmates.

Good God, we had some 18 year old kids who could only read at about an 8th grade level or less back then. Some of them still fair no better today as adults! And that's here in Texas!
