The American Education Experience

...so - I got this week's newsletter from Kayleigh's teacher today - she's covering from World War 1 thru the great depression in social studies this week.

That encompasses the era from 1914 to the end of 1941 - all to be taught in the space of 4 days (day 5 being a quiz), in 38 minute blocks.

Doing the math, that comes out to a whopping 2 hrs and 32 minutes of instruction time - to cover 27 years of some of the World's most conflicted and history-rich times...

Yeah - no wonder the educational system in this country is completely fucked...
