What are we really teaching our kids?

What are we really teaching American kids at school?

I'm seriously worried we are teaching far too many of them how to intimidate, bully, and scam by condoning and modeling in the following ways:

• Not holding our students accountable for their behavior
• Giving passing grades to kids who have barely turned in any work
• Passing kids onto the next grade whether or not they can read, write, and add
• Pretending that administrators are held to account and are doing their damn jobs

To be clear: this is not what our teachers want or expected when they went into the profession. What is occurring is being forced upon them and they are quitting in droves.

In fact, I would argue that the ONE thing we teach our students well is how to pretend to get an education.
