Very true, CP. My wife is a teacher and we understand this very well.
The MAIN priority of school is the three Rs. So much other stuff pushes its way in that often times those are not treated as the priority. After I throw in history, the priorities are somewhat less clear. Music and phys ed are not as important as those others.
I keep starting writing various rants, but I find them to be endless. They have numerous tangents that I cannot seem to organize in any rational way. So....until I can figure out how to put all of my educational rants into something short of a voluminous tome, I will hold off. I would post one at a time, but I don't necessarily think one is more important than another.
