Ah... yeah, you're prob. right.

Instruction via PCs in schools has been in the news lately - studies re:
advantageous or not sort of deal. Therefore my brain automatically
assumed...

Well Mike, you would be HALF right.

Grades K-4 were spent in the Chicago Public School district.

After that, I spent in schools in towns, only one over about 10,000,
including the only town that is so Communist (they think they're Democrat)
that they have a May Day parade.

OMG - did they have a sinful Maypole, & did they leave evil baskets of
goodies on friends' doorsteps?

Nope, they didn't have a Maypole, this was celebrating the modern May Day
not the ancient one. I'm surprised the town flag didn't show the hammer and
scycle.

Hey, he was not the average sort of Kindergartener. ;-) (If he really did
just turn 50, would be 5 yrs. old in '62, & apparently demanding to say his
prayers out loud, in his classroom.)

From what I saw in 1991, it no longer even indicated that by then.

No, the first year I went to a private kindergarten. The public school
didn't really have one back then.

I'm not 50 yet, I started Kindergarten the day AFTER Labor Day in 1962.

You keep proving over and over again that you're a liberal and therefore
part of the problem, instead of part of the solution. You seem to be
Politically Correct. You live in New Jerk City. You think the war in Iraq
is wrong. You think the Supreme Court decision in 1962 was right.

And YES I have watched the nation's educational system go down the drain
since 1962. I watched as the schools started scrambling for other songs to
sing at Christmas and Easter, lest the American Communist Liberation Union
(for such is its real purpose) should sue them. By the time I finished high
school in 1975, standards had gone down quite a bit. My brother, who was 7
years behind me in school, was learning stuff 8 years after I did, i.e. by
then they'd dumbed down the grades almost a whole grade. Then my sister,
who was 6 years behind was almost another year behind my brother schoolwise.
And she was a Straight A student and participated in quite a few gifted and
talented programs. She was bored in school most of the time and had to find
her own ways to keep from getting bored. Especially in high school she knew
as much as a lot of her teachers. So don't lie to me, you liberal leftist
liar and don't tell me I didn't see what happened.

Engels vs Vitale in 1962 should rank right up there along with Dred Scott,
Plessy vs Ferguson and Roe vs Wade as some of the worst decisions the
Supreme Court ever made. We had to have a war to fix up Dred Scott and
nearly a war to fix up Plessy vs Ferguson. Are we going to have to have a
war to fix up Engels vs Vitale and Roe vs Wade.

I'd almost be willing to bet you're a liberal feminist, too, and
contaminating our kids with that garbage, too. About how women have the
right to abortion on demand right up to the last freeking minute. You
probably admire Hillary's frinds, like Donna the Dyke Shelela, Yes she is a
known homosexual and very millitant about it, too. And she hates men. I
have it on very good authority. And she has no right to push her view of
the world off on kids, but she does.

One of the advantages of moving around the country so much is you get a lot
of connections in the oddest places.

So now I've finally lost my patience with you. You can't even laugh at
yourself, the final indicator of a Loonie Left Liberal. I bet the only time
you ever laughed is when you were smoking pot when you were at the
universtiy studying to be a teacher.

What's even sadder, I had some teachers that started out the same year you
did. They were a lot more cheerful than you, and they had their heads on a
lot straighter.
