That business is such crap. It all depends on the kids and the "at risk" kids are largely ignored or just put out of school because this new breed of teachers does not want to have to deal with their needs. Most of them are also boys. Big surprise.<BR/><BR/>Schools are so busy teaching "to the test" anymore that the basics get left behind. So many of them can not read well or write worth a darn, but they teach them what they need to know to get the scores that bring more funding into the schools and so on and so on.Dharmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15972775683671877835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-82853834731470176202007-11-30T15:15:00.000-08:002007-11-30T15:15:00.000-08:00We've always been stupid.
