"Our "educators" seem desperate to find almost anything to do other than actually educate the children entrusted to them. Writing letters to public figures, play-acting events in history, "discovering" math -- anything other than acquiring the intellectual skills they will need in adulthood."Guys, this would be a good essay to print out and hand to ALL parents, high schoolers, and teachers. It is more stone cold truth about the evil that has become "education" today. Peace and love, George.

Both chucking tests and job fairs for kindergarteners are pure nonsense. This suggests that these adminstrators were most likely taught these new age, cradle-to-the-grave methods in their solicalist/liberal University courses. Ya think?
