Mega dittos! And ... the only way this onslaught is going to stop is when parents get united and charge the schools enmasse and tell these people how it's going to be. If parents want their children schooled correctly, they're going to have to take control of the schools themselves. I'm not talking armed conflict here - I'm talking about parents paying more attention to what their children are being taught rather than what promotion they are seeking.

I fear that more often than not, parents don't care what their child is being taught. It's free childcare for many. Who would want to "rock the boat" when it's all they can do to get them up and dressed before they have to be at work? You ask too much of them. /sarcasm.

I prefer the "John Galt" approach to government school reform. Let the dead bury the dead. The living have work to do, and a future to claim. Life's too short and resources too scant to waste on fool's errands.
