I cannot believe the stupidity of modern education!

My wife studied agriculture in high school in the early 1960's. The course was dropped for what was apparently a more valuable and relevant course of study.

Later the same woman taught Family Studies in an Ontario high school.  The Neanderthals out there will know it as Home Economics. As part of her curriculum she taught budgeting and the in's and out's of  getting a mortgage.  She went so far as to have a local lawyer address her classes on the subject of mortgages.  Amid the present day cry to reach such things as part of the Ontario curriculum, her former class room is today used as a storage space and the Family Studies programme is defunct.

So much for progress.
