This one is frustrating...don't read it.

Normally, I turn the volume down on the radio ads. But I couldn't resist the one ad that guaranteed your child would start earning A's in 30 days by using this "new, revolutionary system."

Yikes. I mean, even if it DID work...what's the kid learning? How is the kid becoming better at thinking?

I'm just beseeching parents, kids and teachers to ask themselves these questions: Because a kid is getting better grades in school, does it always mean that they are learning anything near what it takes to begin fulfilling his human potential? Should it sincerely please anybody if a kid's "grade" went from 85.8% to 86.2%? Is it past time to start asking ourselves if there is a better way to teach better material to get better results that we can better measure?

There are people out there that are more concerned about the health of their cars and the health of their favorite athletes and teams.

I REALLY need to just shut it up because, obviously, I just don't get it. I am just entirely out of touch with what really matters.
