The Latest Fad In Public Schools

From Our Friends At Eagle Forum

Note: My comments in Blue italics

"Every few years a new fad sweeps across the public schools. We've had self-esteem, new math, whole language, New Age, outcome-based education, school-to-work, mental health screening, school-based clinics, global education, diversity, multiculturalism, and early childhood education."

Are High Schools across the country now to be considered "mini-colleges," with teenage children being required to name a major?? This isn't just ridiculous it's downright insulting. A 14-year-old can't even make up his/her minds about what to wear in the morning, let alone what he/she will choose as a lifelong career. The real question to ask, at least in my never to be humble opinion is: Just who is responsible for such an idiotic and unrealistic idea??

How about getting back to basic EDUCATION--YOU KNOW LIKE READING, WRITING & ARITHEMITIC??

Wow--Sounds rather revolutionary to me!

Read the article "linked" above and judge for yourself!
