I agree Digs. Also when the Democrats want to ban something fun, it usually starts with "it's for the children."

The political party that worries....and acts upon their worries with a bunch of stupid new laws.....that your kid might suck on the treated lumber at their playground for hours, daily, to generate trace amounts in their system....are the same political party that is in large part responsible for putting Level 3 sex offenders in your neighborhood.

Reconcile that!

And the Republicans don't play the children card? The excuses behind our increasingly draconian sex and drug laws are always "save the children."

i certainly hope this isn't gonna become "packerspolitics" during the offseason.

back to the topic. i agree with montanabob. cuz he's been there. he's done that. he knows what he's talking about.

i'm shocked at what they call 'teaching' these days. buying into a 'canned' curriculum is the laziest form of educating i've ever seen! my kids now are learning alligator math. i said 'wtheck is that?' it's greater than/less than but now we gotta call it alligator math cuz the alligator's mouth eats the big numbers?!? really??? come on!!

now they're teaching them money math. first semester was all about adding & subtracting then poof - now we're counting money. even though they have NO idea how to add .25 +.25 - we're in the money math section of our 'canned' curriculum so we're doin it. i've been told they'll go back to add/subtract later this month.

very disappointed in the way kids are taught these days. VERY!

Honestly, if that is all you have, NSD.......

Laws against drugs and drug use, versus, using children to get into wallets for more layers of ineffective government?

As said earlier, all parties are guilty, but the Dems have refined it to art form....kinda like Tammy Faye Baker's mascara running sobs on the PTL Club.

No need for math and science when a child knows why Bobby has two Moms!!

George Washington, who?

What is The Constitution?

I'm studying math at the University of Wisconsin, and I still sometimes think of alligators when I working with inequalities. It provides a simple device to remember which symbol (< or >) is which. Especially when I was younger, it was nice to have a way to tell the difference between the two without just memorizing them.

Well, I'm going to take advantage of my position as OP in the thread, and post my second change:

2. Require every student from first grade to final semester undergraduate to be taking at least one foreign language course.

A polyglot world demands poly-lingual citizens.

I'd only make one educational rule - you can't graduate college if you don't know the difference between "it's" and "its." Period. I don't care what your major is.
