You said nothing wrong Ernie. I was just pointing out what I observed about public education from the inside and it was not pretty.
I was roasted for asking for the kids to learn some life skills like balancing a checkbook, how credit cards work, etc. I was shocked that parents though I was trying to dumb down the school.
We did have a good sex ed program early, and I stood up to the do gooders over it. I told them your kids can take an alternate and God help them when they get out in the real world.
School should be an enriching experience, for some kids it is critical thinking, for others it would be something useful they can do. You should come out of School smarter than when you walked in.
Changing your mind when you get new information is not flip flopping, it is intelligent. More people should try it from what I see around me and hear on the radio and TV.
