Our grand daughter started college, accounting. Her first year she was studying what we were taught in 10th grade. This really upset me as I did not realize how badly the libs had almost crippled our education system.
Educational programs can come and go in fads. My wife has horror stories to tell about how this or that goofy program would get adopted and an entire generation would become "illiterate" or "inumerate". What we both love about the "No Child Left Behind" was a provision to deny funding to any educational program that does not have an established proven performance record for successfully teaching the intended courses.
It must be working because the main complaint of the dems has been 'funding'.
