That is a symbol of just how far down we have slipped since the days
when structure, discipline, and critical thinking were taught to our
children along with reading, writing, and arthithmatic.  Even the
arithmatic is in question these days.  My youngest's sixth grade class
had no sixth grade math taught to it at all, this had to be learned in
the junior high they went to.  And that would not have been possible had
my husband and I not spotted this and gone to the folks in the junior
high.
The use of marijuana among teens is esculating at a rapid rate.  It
doubled, and then doubled again.  The number of high school seniors who
have had sex, used alcohol and other drugs is much higher today than it
ever was.
And those are the kids who have stuck in school!  There are no
statistics, other than arrest records, for those kids who haven't.
Kids who use marijuna don't tend to do well in subjects like math.
If they take them in the first place.
This county has a wonderful track record for its kids.......half of them
do not graduate from high school.
I'd say we have a long way to go to clean up the messes we've made in
the past few years.
