When I was little my grandma would watch me when my parents were at work and she taught me how to read, I have no memory of it.
If she hadn’t I may have been illiterate to this day cause they sure as hell weren’t doing a very good job teaching it in kindergarten and 1st grade.
I don’t recall anything more than the most basic stuff being taught till 3rd or 4th grade.
I remember all through 2nd grade they made us do color by numbers. And the math problems were 2+5 and stuff like like, ridiculous. The tedious coloring was harder. I’m sure it’s gotta even worse since then. Today’s 8th graders are probably learning what my mom’s generation learned in the earliest grades.
And then in HS they bury you in homework.
The poor kids in year-round school (called Track E here in Chicago) went back last week. Lucky for them the heatwave ended before they got back.
The whole system needs to be reexamined.
Whoa!!!!!...better change that to Track “A” or you'll ruin their self esteem..../s
I thank God that I did get the education I did, because when I finally rebelled and said “I'm going to public high school!”, I was shocked at the number of dullards.
That was over 20 years ago; I shutter to think what things are like now in public school...”fag awareness month”, “white devils are the reason the world isn't fair month”...etc...
No thanks!!!
