The reason people say "everything I need to know I learned in kindergarten" is because the public school system barely teaches anything beyond a kindergarten level. The reason people say that is because so many either never learned or have abandoned what you're supposed to learn in kindergarten--the basic skills of civilization--share the commons, put your toys away, play nicely together, don't hit,don't throw your food, etc. If kids learned the kindergarten basics, maybe kids would have a better chance of mastering math later in school. Actually, if kids could enter adulthood fully programmed with kindergarten skills, I wouldn't mind excusing them from knowing the dates of the Civil War or algebra. That would be a net plus in my view of things. Which reminds me, when I was last visiting my father, a neighbor baking a cake came by needing a twelve ounce can of Seven-Up. Dad offered a liter bottle of lime soda as an alternative. She was befuddled over how to use the soda in her recipe until I finally figured out her disconnect and offered that she could just measure out a cup and a half. She was so pleased to have her problem solved. The cake was really good... <g>
