(25,034 posts)The rural kid will have segments of community based curriculum as will kids in suburbs and kids in the metro but the general knowledge in history, maths, literature, grammar, spelling, world and national civics , and sciences all spends the same.
This isn't a hundred years ago, the kid in Idaho may end up anywhere, doing anything.
We don't need yahoos demonstrating "diversity" by dumbing a generation of kids by teaching them about Jesus riding dinosaurs or edit/deleting Jefferson out of the history books. Most of this shit is an attempt to create a diversity of facts or in a few cases running away from such for those who have the time, resources, and ability which I have to grant. Well...honestly both those factors pale compared to white flight shit and rich folks making sure their get the best while trying to defund public education, divert funds from the masses, or both.
This just isn't a "fend for yourself" situation, the vast majority cannot for a lot of reasons. This is a purpose of government situation for me. There are few better reasons, really.
