The state of the Public Education system in the United states is pathetic. Reaching back to my high school years (1998-2002) I can recall that more time was spent in classes dealing with self esteem and feelings than with actually learning anything of value. I am not saying education needs to be endless hours of drill work, but the idea that open ended learning is the way to go is totally pointless. Youths are expected to completely rediscover everything that they ever learn? It took us 20,000 years to get where we are now.
