>>Imagine what it was like in 1912<<
My grandmother started her 50-year career in NYC Public School teaching in 1912. It was very interesting and informative to hear her talk about what it was like, and how it changed (of course, 1962 looks like paradise compared to now, but the adverse trends which have brought us this low were well-developed by then).
Grandma always thought that what she was doing in the Lower East Side public schools of 1912-1940 was making Americans.
A few more teachers like her would do us a world of good.

The state of economic education is even worse than that of the hard sciences; and has been for years. Econ teaches logical thought - wolfbane to liberals. Any wonder our daughter goes to private school? Or that we'll do whatever we have to in order to keep her out of the morass of public schools? It seems our founders were quite correct in baning the feds from most of what they are engaged in today. All duties they have undertaken against the demands of the Constitution they have if not destroyed, seriously damaged (education, housing, the health profession).

That's what public schools did in the beginning of the last century. Their mission was to educate and bring the immigrants into the American way of life. Today, it seems that the public schools feel that their mission is to denigrate the American way of life.

Grandma always thought that what she was doing in the Lower East Side public schools of 1912-1940 was making Americans.And she was. People would scream today if faced with one tenth of what she faced. With no antibiotics, a cold was a serious life threatening event in her class room.
