OT To compare the local schools prior to WW II to what we have now is a joke.

Have you been to a public school since the 50's? I know there is variability but what you describe sounds nothing like the school my children are in. Last year we were dissapointed in my son's third grade teacher, too much drill work, not enough explanation. The rest of the teachers they have had are very dedicated and good. The nearest thing to social engineering I have seen is a DARE anti-drug seminar they were encouraged to attend (although we could have exempted them if we liked) and another which required our permission on not talking to strangers, bicycle safety, and what to do in case of a fire.

The quality of the education is on par with what I had as a child. I'm not sure what else to compare it. I think you paint with too broad a brush here.

TP - who didn't go to school prior to WWII
