Right. Criminal negligence.
not taught Heimlich but the use of condoms, yes.
One can't get a degree in common sense - you either got it or not. The 'no cell' teacher is obviously lacking common sense cells.
Tragic story.
My thoughts went immediately to my dear friend [now tragically dead of a brain tumor] ... who homeschooled her 8 brilliant children when home schooling was rare or even almost unheard of ...She told me that her children may not have learned to put a condom on a banana ... but they had been taught real academic subjects with a healthy dose of life skills ... including CPR and the Heimlich maneuver. Those brilliant children were enrolled in a public high school largely so that they could take [and ace] the National Merit Scholarship test ... and then went on to brilliant academic careers at schools like M.I.T. and Harvard ... and successful lives beyond that.
Now, it seems that the guvmint schools have deteriorated to the point where they have actually become life threatening. Scary, isn't it?!
All of you home schooling parents out there ... take heed ... if you do not want to teach life skills [CPR and Heimlich maneuvre, etc.] to your kids ... remember to enroll them in one of the readily available courses where they will learn them.
