U.S. Education in the 21st Century

A proper education in the 21st Century includes the old standbys of readin' and 'ritin' and 'rithmetic, albeit we had to lose the hickory stick.

But, not to worry!

We've added armored vehicles and semiautomatic rifles, and grenade launchers.

Guess we need to change those warning signs on the streets from "Quiet: School Zone"...

...to "Beware: Militarized Zone".

Military Surplus Program Provides Weapons to School Police


CAT Tracks Editor's Note:

Ya know...

Students in the United States may not be able to beat Finland in test scores, but I bet our combined school police forces could whip Finland's army!

Kinda reminds me of those school bumper stickers...
