[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Global competition from kids who work harder than our's.[/quote] Nope, I don't buy it. My kids' school day only has 1.5 hours of reading/English and math, the rest is fluff. 1st-3rd grade doesn't need music, art, science (not real science), and social studies EVERY DAY. If I have to do 1 more diorama, I'll scream. If they were teaching more reading, writing and math at an early age, we would be globally competitive. Math doesn't even use timed tests or drills anymore to learn math facts, so we do it for an 1-2 hours at home every night.[/quote] You clearly know better than the educators. Why aren't you home schooling your DC? You could knock out an hour of English and an hour of math after breakfast and never have to do a diorama again. Meanwhile your DC can learn the really important skill of complaining in DCUM rather than actually acting to change what you don't like.[/quote]
