You didn't know?

Well, I didn't know until I became a Cub Scout Leader. My 7yo son is educated at home, so I have no idea what they teach in the local public school. It is certainly not reading, writing, or math.
Don't get me wrong. I love the boys in my den, but I am saddened at the quality of education they are receiving. I can't believe that millions of parents sit still for this.
Even worse, I think it's fair to say that Scout parents are generally more involved with their children than the population at large. So, it must be even worse than I think...
