School SHOULD be where science, reading and writing are taught.

"School SHOULD be where science, reading and writing are taught."

EXACTLY. While our 6 year olds are learning about sharing, diversity, and otherwise feeling good about who they are, our 12 year olds are lucky if they can multiply two-two digit numbers and read and comprehend the instructions on a box of macaroni and cheese.

Forget about writing. It's keyboarding now. I'm not sure they even teach cursive anymore.
