Pumps' Perplexities

What the hell have we thought our children in school?????....

Since the one room school house to about 50 years ago,
you went to school to learn the "basics" on how to progress
and succeed in life......You read, wrote, added, subtracted
and learned the fundamentals of art, science......Let's not
forget basic world history, American history and civics.....

Today, I gather, the grammar and high school classes are
more "in depth"....Create a deeper thinking process and all
that kind of "mush"......

The result of this "deep thinking" is the fact that people
now run gas generators or burn charcoal in their homes
if there is a power outage and they can't keep the beer cold.....
Where the hell was the "science class" that told them that
certain gas fumes will KILL you......

I suspect too much time was spent telling them that they
were going to die from Arctic ice melting or bird "poop"......
