From the evil to the wrong to the outrageous to the stupid the world seems full of…shall we say, the less than the ideal.  So often does news of the latest “you have got to be kidding me” hit me in the face that I am beginning to wonder if I have turned into that old man sitting on his porch yelling at the kids to get off his lawn.  And I struggle to explain it.  We looked this week at how education has failed kids.  But somehow it seem insufficient as an explanation.
