Look who's talking

I I read "voters" response with interest. The analysis of the sheer ugliness of socialist schooling was spot on, sadly. It's a cancer in our growth that will have many harmful repercussions one day - if not right now. I do disagree though about ALL children being gifted. From all my expriences in life this is a sentimental and unrealistic rosy spec illusion. Some are gifted, some definately not. Some kids are actually born evil, some are beautiful in nature but get damaged along the way. Many good kids survive the grinding wheels of life and find a niche in which they can thrive and blossom. So what am I saying? simply that the genes of human life range from the crude to the lovely, a vast range - and much of it a lottery of class, genetic inheritance, and good nurture or bad nurture. The schools play a terribly important part in the character developement of our kids, and here we fail miserably. We are, as a nation, going to pay a high price before long as our current course is very self-destructive.
