[Healeys] Famous Healey People

[John Sims]

One better. When we moved to New Jersey from California in 1970 my oldest
son told the teacher that the Grand Canyon was formed by erosion and she
gave him a failing grade stating that erosion could not have caused such a
thing. I don't think that she lasted as a teacher. He, as well as his
sister, are teachers now and they are still amazed at what is being taught
or should I say not taught according to the approved curriculum in New York
City -- History, Geography, Social Studies, etc, etc, etc.

Had my high school teacher tell me the Montreal was
the capital city of Canada!
Oh mon Dieu, the rest of you Canadians are saying. It
was probably a French plot.
She argued with me when I told her it was actually
Ottawa....even after I told 
her I was a Canadian!
Brought in an Atlas the next day and she apologized
and corrected herself.
I still remember having to memorize the capitals of
every US state, Canadian Province,
European and South American country, and a smattering
of Asian capitals as well.

That was elementary school too!

 <<Hopefully the views of most of us have changed
over the years.>>

It's not the "views" of pre"baby boomers", we LEARNED
in school!!<G>

Gen xers, Gen yers and current crop of students may
NEVER find Oz )mores the
pity).  If you want examples, Jay Leno's "street"
interviews are VERY
revealing!!!
It is AMAZING what even SCHOOL TEACHERS have NO clue
about!!!  I'm sure that
either on his site or NBC, clips would still be
available.

Unfortunately, quite "educational"<sigh>!!

Saw a "pro" Driving Instructor with "student" at the
wheel (just past Sat.)
turn FROM a 4 lane street LEFT onto 4 lane street and
student went directly to
curb lane!!  ILLEGAL, but that's haw our "new"
drivers" are being taught!!
What do you think goes on INSIDE the school???

Amazing, simply amazing and a REAL SHAME!!
