I agree. But I'd like to see some real changes and standards on our education system anyway. Some solid math, some pushing of reading, some solid introduction to scientific thinking and problem solving. Things that I think are missing from many schools.
I went to public school for a while after Yeshiva (6th grade on or so) and I was shocked at how far behind the public schools were in comparison. I slept through math classes (literally) without problems. Eventually I just quit and got my GED (highest score ever) and went on to college. Even there in the core science and math classes they were below the level I'd expect. :( I WANT REAL LEARNING IN THIS COUNTRY OR I'M LEAVING! > Let me add that I would love to see a mandatory comparative religion > course in every Junior High school (7th or 8th grade.) followed the next > semester by a social anthropology course (or whatever would cover > societal/cultural differences).
