@ 11:00 pmDavid . . .You know my background, and how in my poitosin I was obviously (and in more than one way) involved in teaching both children and adults.The old saw reading and writing and (a)rithmetic, is necessary. Those are highly structured and necessary for any measure of success in life. There is nothing liberal in those disciplines learn them or lose.The other discipline necessary and needed as much would be logic (I would, in biased fashion, include the theo version), something sorely lacking and often substituted for with emotions, which may carry one for a certain distance in life, but can never ring completely true.Having just read and I look at education and wish that someone had had introduced me to the Abolition of Man in high school, so that by the time I got to college and Sem, my thinking process might have been more able to absorb knowledge and less fluff and stuff.My two cents worth.
