they will learn.
i remember taking a class in critical thinking in the 60's. you think they teach anything close to that now?
they are required to NOT think independently. look at the idiot hogg kid. no brain, just brainwashed.
in high school! my senior year. 1969.
we were taught to think and discuss and argue.
i got an A in my civics class because I ARGUED with my teacher and presented my case and he accepted my argument.
i am on the coast of california, as I was in school and college. same place. different leadership. we use to have actual teachers. my grandmother was one.
now they are taught to just repeat words. i volunteered in my kid's school, all through elementary 1-6 grades. I learned the teachers to trust. i volunteered and worked with kids and kept an eye on my child. no way was I turning my child over to others to raise. I could see even in kindergarten, they were being taught to take tests, and that was all.
