Coddling leaves kids unprepared
Regarding the recent Sunday article about "Head of the class a thing of the past," it reminded me of a speech given by Bill Gates at a high school.
He talks about 11 things students won't learn in school and about how feel-good, politically correct teachings will create a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept will set them up for failure in the real world.
