How’d college enter the conversation?
I was criticizing “public school” which I consider K-12.
The “liberal arts” discussion also focuses on college, which I was NOT addressing.
I am indeed endorsing classical education.
I used to think my Grandad was shortchanged with just an 8th grade education. (born 1912) Now, I realize that fewer than 10% of today’s high school grads could pass his 8th grade exam.
Silly me, I thought the title of the thread was “Obama to Call for Better Graduation Rates (60% of Americans to get college degrees).” That being the case, why did you post something about kindergarten through high school?
