Yes Paul, your probably right but we westerners are simply not the same people we were a generation ago. Since your from Texas i assume there is more normalcy than in the NYC public school system. The affluent suburban public schools in NYS still retain a bit of normal values, usually those kids still actually have BOTH parents or at the very least would recognize their fathers in a line up .

On the other hand i personally have known of NYC school teachers, and have actually joked with them about the level of disfunction. Unfortunately teachers are also the tool which promotes immorality as they have to push controversial curriculum or lose their jobs. Also its a fact that in NYC schools the asian students always score higher in math than all other groups. Or as a Greek Orthodox teacher in a diverse NYC school district remarked to me once, 'my asian students are the smartest would you like to see my grading book for yourself".
