I always joke that the Roman Empire lasted a thousand years and we're not even 300 years old and the cracks are showing. We went away from trade schools and now the direction our education system is going is a Fucking joke. The other day my fourth grade came home with a letter from his teacher telling the parents not to help their children with math homework because they'll teach them in school. There's 36 kids in his class. How the Hell do you get through to every kid? I asked him did they go over anything for Columbus Day. No Dad, we haven't talked about that guy since first grade.
