Preparing for the worst
I just came across another clue as to why our public schools are doing so poorly; some of the textbook authors can't read!
For example, in one book, this is how the 2nd Amendment in the "Bill of Rights" is listed:
Second Amendment. The people have the right to keep and bear arms in a state militia.
Not even close to the real thing. The above quote appears in a textbook that is titled United States History: Preparing for the Advanced Placement Examination.
I know that this has been said before, but parents, teachers, and school board's need to start paying closer attention to what is being fed to students.
