The teachers are given a curriculum. Who is giving them the curriculum?

"social crap" vs 'sports sports sports". Do a Venn diagram on that and see if it's the same type of people.

"dumbing down of America". Who is rewriting history?

Not all teachers are the same. And BTW, you get what you pay for.
Not all liberals are the same and neither are conservatives.

What happened to the moderates?

I consider myself a moderate but would be called a liberal. Raised by liberals (military at that). And have liberal daughters. Many liberal (and conservative) friends.

We know how to add, give change, talk about history, language, arts, science, etc.

So when people start using a broad paint brush...I get a little bothered.

I appreciate this thread. But let's be careful and avoid labels. They are not true and only serve to name call and separate.

This thread is edging way to close to politics. Let's not go there or it will end up getting locked.

Probably the best thing that could happen.  Much complaining about the situation, examples of how bad it is but no workable, practical solutions make it a worthless thread.  Close it now and be done with it.

I tend to agree Marv,


If I was a youngster getting into to this hobby I might have felt that people were getting at me  :( We want to encourage these kids rather than making it appear as a hobby that is overdue.

The best way to help youngsters is not to point out their inadequacies but to teach them what they don't know.


Ok guys it is time to show us your model engine making skills  ;).

Enjoyment is more important than achievement.
