Most of the "learning" these days is all about feelings, rather than facts and figures. Instead of the 3 R's, we have banana demonstrations of condoms, and lockdowns in the halls. My younger son is a teacher.

Does your younger son teach about feelings and do banana demonstrations of condoms?

No. He is a music teacher. He knows a lot about feelings...

The purpose of my post was intentionally biased to show my feelings bout modern education. Isn't yours?

Good teachers are a blessing. We need more of them, and less of the idiots sitting in too many classrooms, wasting our childrens futures. We need to get rid of the myriad of people whose sole purpoe is not education, but instead are trying to deal with things not within their purview, or mandate, IMHO.

It's gottne to the point where the unions have ruined our public education by requiring money to be spent on their pet theories... and the children languish!
