The modern history of education

Makes you wonder why parents would send their children to school? They go through the system and cannot read, make change for a buck, know where Canada is on a map, or know about civics and world history. They can however learn how to find drugs, be brainwashed by socialists teachers, support idols, find sex partners, kill there babies, and spread sexual diseases.

What’s Happened to Teaching History? - CWN

A survey of British under-age-twenty kids recently reported that more than a fifth of them believe Winston Churchill, Richard the Lionheart and Florence Nightingale were fictional characters, but that Robin Hood, Sherlock Holmes and King Arthur were real people.We hope American students are more knowledgeable, but evidence is not reassuring. They scored an F, or just 54 percent, in a new survey by the Intercollegiate Studies Institute of 14,000 freshmen at 50 U.S. colleges and universities.

Students were asked 60 questions to test their knowledge of American history and government. In general, the better a college ranked on the widely publicized U.S. News & World Report list, the lower it ranked on civic learning.
