[George Frm Br00klyn Park]

"I honestly believe that my grandmother, sitting in her one room schoolhouse with five grades at one time"

Guys, If I am considered a "normal" person, this is very true. In 1955 We moved to Maryland from West Virginia where I had attended the first 6 grades in a one room elementary school with all six grades going at once. The first year of high school, {7th grade} including algebra {which I had never heard of}, in Maryland was a breeze. Today is MUCH worse. And MUCH more expensive. The more it costs, the WORSE it gets. There can be NO DOUBT that our higher institutions teach a very successful course in "DUMB" that is intentionally trickled down to the public school systems. What passes for education today is EVIL!! And deliberately so. Peace and love, George.

When will parents face the truth?

The only way to fulfill their responsibility for educating their children is to homeschool or to send them to a well-monitored private school--one with a well-articulated sequence of ACADEMIC study and that takes NO government funds.
