Failing of the Educational System?

Whoops! Didn't mean to get you on your soap box TG but I'm glad you are.

So Friday I was reading this post at the Thunder Run and it didn't really have anything to do with education, but the writer picked a fight with me with his first sentence: "One of the many failings of our educational system is that it sends out into the world people who cannot tell rhetoric from reality." Ok, first question I had was WHY is it always the educational system?? This is one of those times when I truly believe it is the parent's job to teaching the child to tell the difference between persuasive writing or speech and reality. I mention this to my dear friend, David, at the Thunder Run and he lets me know that the writer was probably focusing on higher education. STILL.....not the point. It is not a teacher's job solely to teach children, teens, or young adults this kind of thing.

Read it all....


Keep it up TG, hopefully at some point in time we'll take back the educational system from the democrats, and parents will start acting like parents again.
