A big A-men to that. We need to start at the top of the
Education pyramid with a house cleaning.

My older son is in 4th grade, and they have real homework, real tests,
real grades, etc and in fact, as far as I could tell, forming their
self esteem is not on top of the school's priorities. It was different
in first grade, but quickly changed after that.
