EH - 105 : Kids

"over-worked teachers are under enormous pressure to maintain discipline in class so they can do their job"

So the choice are smacking heads or feeding kids ritilin? Joel Turtel goes into quite a bit more on the choices - but part of the problem is that people are not willing to spend the time that it takes for due diligence in learning. If they don't know the answer, they make something up. We all live in too much make believe - and this article points out some of the fallacies of our schools.

I will also take the time to remind the reader that this series - Extending Horizons - puts forth viewpoints from all sectors and may not reflect the belief system share by Dr. Lenny and Lemme, who are the same actor. Recall Shakespeare once said, All the World's a Stage. Time to allow kids to act like kids and not be tiny little programmed adults.
