He is absolutely right and it's a number game not a educational atmosphere. Educating people is to teach them all the math, science, language, etc but also to develop more important skills such as critical thinking, appreciation and love for learning, creativity, innovation, and to develop skills for later in life. It's to inspire others, it's not a chore and I think Michio Kaku pointed this out when he talked about science class when it's more about desiring to know what is this and how can I learn how what makes it this.
 
When you get old and close to retirement, you can write these kinds of letters.

The oldest guy in my department is the same way, his honesty is hysterical.

Social Studies teacher, they are a dime a dozen. Enjoy your retirement.
 
Real fuckin talk!

Dude sound like a lot of thew teachers I know....well the ones that have been on the job for more than a spell.

He old enough to remember when public education wasn't a political football but was focused on teaching kids the essentials and the extras. Where you could tap into a kids ability to think for himself and the teacher could be creative in teaching methods.

Now this shit has become Bradburian (Ray Bradbury wrote Fahrenheit 451 a book where people stopped reading because books caused readers to make life "unhappy" for people that didn't read). All school is about now is politics, can't teach this, can't teach that, can't say this, can't say that its all bullshit.
 
High schools need to add classes on taxes, finance management and accounting into standard curriculum.

Take out history, and any math above algebra 2.

People can do their own research into history and what they find important.

99.9% of people don't use the high-level equations and algorithms taught in trig and calculus outside of the classroom.
