It is not popular, but separate classes for girls and boys is one suggestion. I also think the food we eat contributes to children’s dispositions. The crap sugar and hormone over loaded, fat choked fast food diet is not healthy. Boys are totally over diagnosed as ADD and medicated. Women dominate elementary teaching and they prefer tractable kids (girls) or boys who act like girls. Lastly, teachers are not allowed to discipline kids, so medication is recommended where teachers of old would actually lay hands on bratty boys. The whole idea that the sexes are the same is idiotic. They are not. Their brains are different and so are they. It is a DNA thing. That does not make one better than the other, but ask anyone who has one or two of each if they are the same. The same idea that brought equal pay for equal work (a good thing), brought the idea that equal means the sexes are the same and learn the same way (not a good thing). Teaching needs to change or it will go the same way as the print media and children will be taught by distance learning and maybe not by teachers. Many of the schools are failing to deliver despite massive amounts of tax dollars invested in them and the instituions of higher learning are almost unaffordable for many segments of society. Something has to change.

Great insights as always from eaves, Allan, flu, Arraya, et al. I have also noticed the news is undergoing a complete dumbing down. There are precious few left with any journalism background and are now strictly somewhat pretty faces. Some of the folks on the local news do not know how to dress either (they don’t or I don’t). Their clothing looks more like what you would see at a bar, than on prime time. I have definitely seen them getting rid of the higher paid old timers like LeBeau and Levine recently. Local television news is hardly recognizable any more. I know it is money driven because some of the newly graduated will work for almost nothing for the chance to be on television. I used to be an avid reader of Time through the 80’s, but it grew thinner and weaker and I stopped subscribing. I thought it was starting to read more like People and less like the Time of old when the Man (or machine) of the year actually meant something. Thank God for the Internet. God help us if the government takes over and starts taxing it. Could there be a pirate Internet?

I like reading newspapers in person and not on line. I am just old fashioned that way. The U.T. since Copley ran it into the ground literally (and he thinks he is a yachtsman), has done exactly what Allen has said, gone from newspaper to newsletter. Take the Home section, it used to be full of useful information and advertisements, now it has neither. If it wasn’t for some of the coupons and occasional interesting business or sports article, I do not think I would bother with it anymore and I would be forced to use the Internet. I suppose I could print the articles out and hold them in my hands to read. There is something special about newspapers and I will really hate to see them go, but that does not mean I want them bailed out. Will sources still be protected when they give stories to people on the Internet or will that go the way of the Dodo?
