#1 "aim to ensure that all students ... have the knowledge, understandings, skills and values necessary to participate and prosper in a changing world and new millennium".

Odd, that seemed to be objective of education for at least a century. Changing world is a feature present since industrial revolution. New millennium? Who cares? Inconsequential.

Yes, Howard is right, "outcome-based" education program is gobbledygook. In fact, gobbledygook is nowadays what passes in schools for education.

#4 Joe, I'm having trouble decrypting that message. Did it say 'Send more meds now' or did it say 'I've found the clue to the Knights Templar's treasure'

#6 How's this for dumbing down? A nearby school district has a summer reading list which includes a book of "poetry" by Tupac Shakur.

Gotta keep it real, knowumsayin?
