I could not believe my ears at the moronic behavior of my peers. In addition, the subject matter was identical to what was taught in my 6th Grade class in a private school.
Forward to June 2001. After years of griping, my daughter receives her private school diploma.
She wonders how her college classmates ever graduated high school!
Home school your child or pay a PROFESSIONAL to educate them at a private school. Don't sacrifice your children!!!!!
I dun gud, ain't I?

Deja vu! I had a very similar experience on my first day in a public school (9th grade, Sept. 1978). It was the first class of the day, and the students were loud and fidgety. I had never seen such hyperactivity in a classroom.
I looked through the English textbook, eager to see what would be taught. Instead, I found myself looking further and further toward the back of the book, only to find material that I had already learned in the fifth grade.
A bit confused - boredom alarm bells were ringing in my head - I asked the teacher where the "real" textbook was. She informed me that the book was our textbook for the year.
"When do we get to diagram sentences?", I asked.
"Oh, we won't be doing that! That's too hard!", the teacher replied.
Sigh... sentence diagramming was covered by the private school in the 5th grade. It gave us a very strong foundation in writing and communication skills. I quickly learned to claim a desk by a wall whenever possible, so I could be more comfortable snoozing.
