Not only were they both public school teachers, but they both had the same last name, though lucky for me they are not related to each other.
Otherwise, I think some of my female encounters are "haunted"...before I married my current, final, and all-time favorite wife, three women I dated in the few years previously all had the same exact birthday as my lovely dearest wife...Oct. 17
At least it makes it easy to remember since I have a problem with those things, due I'm sure to my faulty early education.

I'm sure what you say about "standardized" educational programs is true. I don't know what a better answer could be, other than individualized curriculums and that seems like an unmanageable way to educate a lot of people...unless they all go off and do it on their own, like home schooling type thing. You got any good ideas about this?
PS: I see you're from Toronto...one of my favorite cities. I have plenty of cousins who live there and spent most of my childhood summers there, often causing havoc in High Park to the extent that even the Royal Canadian Mounties had to come get us. One of my cousins was a teacher, then a principal, and is now a superintendent somewhere in a public school district around there.
