Another bad school assignment

Schools lost their way decades ago. While they bicker and argue over social rights and wrongs the kids are not being taught the things that will serve them in life. How many kids graduate high school and know how interest rates work? What a credit score means? The steps required to buy a house?
Nobody in school is bickering over any of that.

We DO bicker over how the changes made to "standards" and curriculum do not prepare them for the future. Give us a common sense progression of reading, writing, arithmetic, the sciences and the arts, that is engaging and challenging... Something to put the joy back in the classroom instead of endless testing and stress over random nonsense and attacks... But no. Instead, we have to dodge bullets.
