<I think the educational establishment is dead set against some of these things. Our current public education system was designed to serve agricultural America.> "I don't know about that........I grew up in cities." Check the educational system in other developed countries - they go year round - no spring break so kids can help with the planting and summer vacation so the kids can bring in the harvest. I agree that both parents working causes a lot of the problems in schools today. But that isn't going to change, the schools need to change to take on that "parenting" role, and if the parents are going to pass that to the schools, society needs to change so that teachers are given the rights of parents over their students, or something to that effect. The teachers also have to be better compensated for their new responsibilities. I don't know what you're learning in class. Fill me in. I seem to recall the educational establishment thinking that as long as teachers knew how to educate, knowledge of the subject matter wasn't all that important, certainly not crucial. That's why a coach taught me algebra in high school!
