Agreed, just stop teaching falsehoods.

Absolutely true. Considered atheism is just a side-effect of skepticism and critical thinking, two of the foundational aspects of rational inquiry.

We learned ancient mythologies in school. Many of our current religions should be included in that category. Myths are ways to understand the world around us through metaphor. Most currently religious folks take the metaphors literally, and that's why we can't call them myths yet.

Could not have said it better !

I think public schools are total bunk. A famous study often aired during in the 1980s on the Kentucky Learning channel, showed that in classes with self-directed study, and five children per teacher, children could advance a grade every TWO WEEKS.

Preschoolers, learning-challenged, even "retarded" kids, up to older adults, used to go from not being able to read at all, to speed reading, in 20 minutes, when I was using Sing, Spell, Read, and Write phonics songs/charts - seen for free on YouTube.

Kids even got copies of the charts after they learned the songs, then went home and taught their 2-3 year old siblings to read, so it has nothing to do with my skills, but with using the right hemisphere of the brain with color and music.

It even works on Thai children who don't know English.

All the rest of school is deliberate time-wasting warehousing-they hold all the kids back to move in lock-step, so parents can go to work and not have to pay for childcare.

And, of course, so they can keep feeding out of the public money funds.

Such nonsense.

Interesting!!
