Subjects Not Taught in School Any Longer

When was the last time you were actually in a classroom?
Or is this something you were just told and don't actually have a real clue.
I teach History everyday, I'm there to teach and not to preach. I put the facts out and how a student digests that info is on them.
As for math, there are a lot kids doing advanced math. The need for calculators speeds up that ability to teach these kids this. Gone are the days of a instructor working out a problem on a 12X20 black board for days on end. It's not practical.
As for your assessment of English and Language arts, you're so far off its unreal.
As for proper punctuation, I can tear your post apart as you've made several errors.
Again, this all begins in the home. You're not happy with the the current state of education, take an active role in it. In the end, your children get the education you pay for and are willing to provide.

What the actual **** are you talking about?
Don't go giving me that" my friend says" **** either.
I see history taught in college's on a daily basis.
I have a History degree. None of it was an indoctrination. In fact, the least liberal and most moderate students in a University are generally the history students. We generally see things for what they are, not the slanted view from either side.

I wasn't even going to chime in here but sense you seem to be an expert on the state of the U.S. education system...…
I have a child in school now and am at the age where "my friends" have children in school and going to college. If you think the students that the public school system is turning out is of the caliber that will carry us into the future you my friend are part of the problem. It is a fact that some, (not all) but some teachers do not have the mental fortitude to manage a grocery store much less educate our children. Kids graduating that cannot balance a check book, write in cursive, any punctuation skills at all exc. I go over every lesson my daughter is given and adjust what we study at home to correct and assist. I have success with this but I have also seen the results of just letting a teacher teach. If you think that a percentage of teachers are not attempting to indoctrinate an entire generation you are sadly mistaken. Have a great Christmas.
