Hi,
It's saddening how much the people in charge of education in our governments actually know or care about what goes in inside and around the our schools.
A person I know who is a retired school teacher has a theory about this. He claims that politicians have a vested interest in keeping the level of the schools as low as possible. They know that no educated person wold vote for any of them.
I often suspect that that theory is true. OTOH, "Never ascribe to malice what can be explained by stupidity". So I guess it can go either way.
