@ryanhoulihan You mean all those topics that parents have tried to teach their kids but all they got back was #OKBoomer? That's not parental neglect--that's blockheaded ignorance on the part of Gen Z and Millennials. Get that right, how 'bout.
@ClaraListensprechen4 Hey Clara, I don't want to launch right into the ad-hominems like everyone else did, but I do want to clarify as someone who is a millennial. My parents taught me these things because they noticed that they were no longer being taught in school. However, many of my peers were not. Their parents were checked out on what was going on with their education and they weren't supplementing.
Finally, a voice of reason. And I quote you: " However, many of my peers were not. Their parents were checked out on what was going on with their education and they weren't supplementing."
No white collar city worker can teach any kid farming. Not any kid, not even his own. That's why we have professional teachers, which is why public school is important.
It's politicians and local/state militants that force school boards to pull or add this or that program and to blame this on an entire generation of Boomers is bogus as hell. It's a whine-fest that solves no problems but provides for the whiner a self-pity party.
