[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Somewhere along the way we have abandoned a rigorous focus on reading writing arithmetic [/b]to cater to the feelings of certain demographics. [/quote] Yes we have, and good. There is a lot more to education than reading, writing, and arithmetic. (Or even reading, writing, and math in general.)[/quote] Teach a child to read write and understand the basic building blocks of math and they have the skill to teach themselves almost anything as they go thru life. That was the point of public education. That's why pub ed exists so all kids get these life skills, not just the children of elites. Public Ed is one of the great accomplishments of western civilization. And you are willing to throw it all away so what, a kid knows how to put a condom on a banana??[/quote]
