Are our kids still getting enough of the basics?

  • I see you've had a modern education, Glis. :)

  • Yes, as long as they're taught to the tune of a hickory switch.

  • That tune was running through my mind as I typed that. Not to many hickory sticks around today's classrooms. :)

    Be serious. They didn't know how to teach arithmetic, even before the "new math" fiasco. Now they teach guessing. And they don't know how to teach that either.

    If you own your house and the mortgage is paid off, go to the county recorder and ask to inspect your title. There will be some codes - ask what they mean. One of them will be "residential". Tell them that's a mistake, it should be "private property". Suddenly, property tax no longer applies. You probably would volunteer to pay the taxes for police and fire protection, but not property tax. Now you have a few bux to send your kid to a decent private school where they still actually teach things. This post was edited by Not Sure at February 25, 2017 1:49 PM MST

  • It's a problem everywhere. Some of our schools/teachers are great; some are not. Same in any job I guess.
