Yeah, i agree. There is certainly some alarming trends developing in alot of public schools in the globally. It seems that its not fashionable to be a well-rounded student. The subjects that parents are pushing thier students to strive in are those concerned with business and finance. Subjects such as PE and History/ Georgraphy are on the backburner. Its quite sad really. I think we could learn alot from the Ancient Greeks, who prized the idea of humans who had a whole array of skills. Sadly, todays workplace encourages people to really specify thier skills.
