[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 395616, member: 4040"] I can understand why teaching is on there. Schools are expected to take on more and more, and so much emphasis is placed on test scores that teachers no longer have time to teach anything that isn't on the test. In our district, they're starting to standardize everything, so all teachers teach the same thing on the same day. Drives me nuts. When do you find time for the interesting tidbits that catch their attention, like the fact that paper was a luxury in early America, so there was no toilet paper, and people used corn cobs instead? And that there was no running water, so the toilet was outside next to the barn? And you only took a bath once a week, washed clothes once a week, and you carried in the day's water in big buckets?
