It’s silly to believe that government schools intend to teach anything more than the bare minimum in terms of the Three R’s. Actually, there is no minimum.

More important subjects by far are self esteem enhancement, sex ed, anti-Western Civilization-ology, and any other kooky notion that allows young minds to atrophy.

Tweaking standards and curriculum won’t change the outcome of government education because the basic mission of the government school administration does not include what normal people call education.
