I am So sorry that my original post caused so much commotion.
UNLIKE you, Hoolz, I actually have a lot of admiration and respect for those in the teaching profession. I think that it's probably one of the most important jobs in our culture.
After all, a good teacher can influence your life forever, and education, and the ability to think critically is the one thing that nobody can ever take away from you.
BUT, I fail to see how the current system of NOT learning things as difficult as spelling, grammar and mathematics by rote can hope to succeed.
In my humble opinion, many of the rules are so lacking in sense that the ONLY way to learn is by rote(before anyone jumps on me, I am not suggesting that all education should return to the bad old days).

I am sorry to have caused such a commotion, but as for the people complaining about the 'nastiness and rudeness' on the BTF, you really should have been on here a few years ago.

THIS IS NOTHING, compared to what it was.
Sometimes in life a good dose of HTFU, really is a good coping mechanism.
Sorry, but that's the truth :)
