If I decide to have children of my own (which I'm not sure yet is a fair thing to bring them into the world we currently live in), I will probably home school them. To develop their social skills, I would enroll them in activities with other children.

I doubt her parents had the foresight to educate her about anything other than shoes. And I certainly doubt she would know the definition of the word coherent.
I was talking with one of my female friends on the phone last night about this very subject. When I started talking about how parents need to take more responsibility and initiative in educating their children (since it's obvious our school system won't), she simply laughed it off and talked about the new cell phone she bought her kid. At that point, I no longer felt like having a conversation with her. Most kids today only want to "text" their friends and are at a loss for figuring out how to keep themselves busy if god forbid their cell phone gets taken away.

There are three subjects that should be required curriculum in schools: history, geography, and survival skills -- for obvious reasons.

"I made a mistake," Miss Teen South Carolina Lauren Caitlin Upton says of her incoherent response to a question in the Miss Teen USA pageant last week. The 'Today' show gives her a second chance to get it right, and News Blogger Mo Rocca poses a challenge: Take her words and rearrange them to make sense.

Many of your are so fast to jump on this "poll" without any facts. Why? Hate first I guess.

It also could be the simple fact that approximately 1/5 of the people currently living in the United States are not nationals. I dont think Geography is a requirement for citizenship here.
