Out here we got it bad. From don’t ask don’t tell (legal resident) To treating every kid the same, just cookie cutter education. If you can’t fit their plans its tuff. Kids can’t follow their own path. they have to take classes to pass the aims test and what is required for collage entrance, not much left for the individual anymore. They have killed the love for learning and it shows in the schools scores. The kids can graduate from collage and not know how to get through life on their own. Who decided the system was broke and fixed it? BW
