I would suggest you do a little homework on the politics and machinations of our modern education system, which you seem to be clueless about. All of that "fun," engaging, feel-good stuff that goes in the classroom is required by the bean counters, social engineers, overpriced education consultants, and the ASD.....so it all rolls downhill from the top. Don't lay it on the teachers......they're nothing but fry cooks who do as they're told.
