Welcome to America….where people are actually having a serious discussion about whether teaching kids advanced math as soon as possible is a bad thing. Is it any wonder our country lags behind in math/science?

However, that’s nothing compare to this nutcase over in the UK that wants to stop teaching academic subjects that are “middle class”.
Instead of history, geography and science, Professor John White thinks students should “learn skills such as energy-saving and civic responsibility through projects and themes,” reports the Daily Mail. White believes that “traditional subjects were invented by the middle classes and are “mere stepping stones to wealth.” Which seems preferable to preparing students for poverty.
Makes one wonder about the decline of the West!
