Education Experts?

Education Experts brought us

• The new math and calculators in the classroom
• Open concept schools
• The idea that self expression is more important than grammar or spelling
• The belief that failing a kid and separating him from his peer group was more damaging than the fact he wasn’t learning.
• Cuts to phys-ed programs

What we got were

• Bank tellers who use a machine to subtract 3000 from 5000 and don’t realize they have a problem if the answer they get is 200
• Buildings no one has a use for
• University students who can’t spell or write a proper sentence
• Adults who are functionally illiterate.
• The first generation in 200 years that will live shorter lives than their parents because they’re obese.

Do we trust them when they tell us that libraries are replaceable in a digital age or that music programs are a luxury when budgets are tight.
