Dear Editor:
I really enjoy your posts and often do not take the time to respond. This one got me thinking about our education system and how it does not teach kids to reach beyond what they are spoon fed by - you name the agenda. I wrote some time ago about the value of debate in early education. It requires students to research and debate both sides of current issues. It should be a required course for one semester of each high school grade and be as competitive as sports.
