[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 334724, member: 4264"] Lack of learning, loss of quality of learning, is my biggest pet peeve about the education system. We are told that if we expect more of our children, we can expect them to do greater things etc. Yet we are expecting less and less of our children through their school years. And we wonder why we are grooming a society of uneducated young people, underachievers, low wage earners etc. Well if we provide a quality education, we can expect a quality future for a kid who grasps the opportunities. But we seem to be yanking the options out under their feet. Parents really stick their heads in the sand. If ALL parents were outraged, something would have to change, force the system to change. But when so many parents turn the other cheek, this is what our kids now get. No apologies please for your vent at all. I've seen (and posted) similar threads here through the years. You're not alone [/QUOTE]
