[who knows what evil?]

Thank you for taking the time to post these links. Please kill me now. These are questions children in the first or second grade could answer back in the 50's when EDUCATION held sway in the public schools. A task as simple as shopping or dining out has now been made much more complex by the dumbed-down work force turned loose on society by an uncaring education cartel. It is just going to get worse and worse. G-d have mercy on your children. (My wife and I chose NOT to have kids...we saw this coming AGES ago.)

We're thinking of private schools (faith-based) or homeschooling. It all depends on where we live, also. Homeschooling if we're stuck in CA for any longer than we plan, and private schools if we make it back to PA... My older daughter (6th grade) is in public school and though she is at the top of her class, I chalk it up to her having the ambition to learn, and do well, not her public school education. She's always enjoyed reading and books, which promote literacy and success in other subjects. Comprehension, anyone? ;).
