Case in point - at the kids' school they had 1.5 hours per DAY.. yes.. 7.5 hours a week.. more than one full school day of just math last year. Still many students struggled. Were talking basic addition, subtraction, and beginning multiplication/division. These kids will grow up to read and believe Time (or whatever equivalent rag) just like dear old dullards ma and pa.
