If you want your children to actually learn you have send them to a private school or home school them. The "dumbing down" of America is prof liberalism does not work and that the government has no ideal how to educate anyone. there are a few communities that still have public schools that still teach and the ACLU has not scared yet. I have only seen those in a few small southern towns. They actually still say the pledge of allegiance and a prayer. Michael Saraco Systems Consultant Baer Consulting, Inc.

Offered sizes of 8, 12, or 16, I asked for a dozen. Got the "Deer in the headlights" stare; she had to call the manager to decypher "dozen". Tell me about the "dumbing down" of America! :-( ------------------<unsnip>-------------------- Not "dumbing down" but I'm going through a similar situation. Went out and bought a digital clock and hung it on the wall here at work. It is a block of LEDs that shows the time in binary coded decimal. Talk about the deer in the headlights look when I look at a bunch of blinking lights and tell them what time it is! And don't get me started on having to explain to a network admin what a Julian date is.....
