Look. Public school education is just a small part of the problem. You need to dig deeper. We chasing money and unnecessary goods. We send our wives out of home to jobs. Our excuse is we don't have time for raising kids. Beside school children should spend some time with parents, grandparents, relatives, friends, animals etc. They need to have experience different situations. Good and bad. Today we want to protect them from all bad. And we do more harm then help. All that together is education and school is small part of that. It's easy to blame school. Most of the time is our fault. Kids are smart. Don't worry to much.
I appreciate your feedback.
Growing up in downtown San Diego then going to school and working on a farm in Idaho really helped to see the world from a grassroots perspective that I had not appreciated before.
My dad ran his own business growing up and working in that environment was some of the best preparation because of the experiences I had and the skills I learned.
Would not have traded that quality time and experiences working with my Dad as a young kid for the world.
Best,

Good point, but probably also school made big contribution to your personality.
Very true brother, we just all want to give our children a better experience that we had. While working in High Shool I saved up $12,000 to leave home and do a mission trip for two years. Without coming back to see family and that was an experience that I would have to say was just as influential and humbling as my schooling experience was.
No comfort in the growth zone no growth in the comfort zone.
Funny thing is that like a kid you think everything are bad experiences, but when you get older and you look back you see them in better and proper light. Or maybe we just remember good and forgot bad.
Wisdom comes as a gift. We have to build character someway. I sure feel bad for those that only learn from their own mistakes.
Work Hard Be Happy!
