Enough already-why schools just make me mad

Actually, there are lots of things that drive me nuts about our school system. A friend from church was talking the other day about getting letters from the teacher complaining how their daughter was not focusing on her math facts and exercises. The parents were supposed to make her pay attention to doing this dribble. The age of the child? We’re not talking about college prep here-she’s in early elementary. I asked the parents if she had any trouble working on other subjects. The predictable answer – no, she does fine with the other topics. Enough said…don’t bother the child and let her explore what she’s interested in at this age.
