Totally agree.

I said something recently to a young person about concentric circles. He had no idea what I was talking about. Well educated college grad, but no knowledge of what concentric circles are.

I learned phonics in the Rome, Ga. Public schools. 1958 1st grade. How to sound out the words. The word Island; a land mass surrounded by water gave me problems. I thought it was pronounced is land. Oh gee guess what, the s is silent. Somehow I survived. Long live phonics! The current bosses at Rome public schools have got a saying, If you are willing to try, we have got a program for you. The key to learning is being willing to try.

In grade school?????? We need engineers etc. but probably not 100 million of them. In fact I can think of nothing worse than having that many running around. Every discipline thinks they have the inside track on revealed knowledge.
