I bet we all agree, schools push a LOT of nonsense.

August 10, 2023 03:02PM
As WELL known, Florida is under the spotlight for a lot of STUPID arguments. BOTH sides of the fence. People want a narrative when what is needed is.......BAAAAASICS!!!! Kids are still coming out of school with ZERO knowledge of buying a car or house....Budgets......How to use a ruler.....Basic Geography knowledge. Schools need HANDS ON Shop and even Home Ec Classes. Instead, they get USELESS crud!! Here in Florida, there are more concerns about School Grades than PRACTICAL Student success.

Even when I was in High School, it used to irk the hell outta me that The Literary Concepts Of Chaucer were being crammed at us...WHOOOO CARES???????

IMO.....Schools are damned near useless after a 7th Grade Education.

  It kills me that local Schools are pushing to have Schools start later because Little Johnny is tired?

ferragamo7979August 10, 2023 03:45PM

  A dear friend has complained to me about that many times
