Terry,

What is your educational and occupational background to make such sweeping judgements of Oregon educators? Have you been spending a great deal of time in classrooms or monitoring how, exactly, curriculum is written?

How about giving it a rest and not constantly ranting all over the internet...unless you have something truly insightful to offer? The only thing missing from your post is a mention of bikes paying their own way...I'm sure that is part of the educational plot, as well.
