God help us, the thread has gone to hell. Readin’, writin’ an ‘rithmatic.

Them dag-blamed teachers is screwing up the young-uns, I tells ya! Not teaching the three “R”s! That’s all I needed, and that’s all they need, by crackee!

They need that for starters. To pretend that these things are dispensable is outrageous. First actually teach these, and then we can talk about whether history, biology, physics, or music should receive more emphasis up the line.
