I'm not saying that learning about Historic events isn't important.
I'm just saying how many times throughout your day do you need to know when World War 2 ended?
The purpose of education is to teach people how to learn things for themselves, and to try and get children interested in learning.
I got straight A's in all my math classes when I was younger up and through college. A couple months ago I was presented with the need for a simple alegabra equation. It's been so long since I was involved in that kind of math I had to get a quick refresher.

But in essence as long as these kids parents teach them how to discover and learn things on their own and give them the desire to I think the kids are going to turn out just fine, in fact probably better than 50% of the kids who come out of the educational system.
