I'm no opponent of reality. In fact, sometimes I dish out too much myself -
even for adults. :-)
However, if you're a parent with kids in school, you've probably seen what I'm
talking about. You get a note from your kid's teacher saying that today they
had the opportunity to learn how a 'No' on some educational proposition or
reduction on teacher salaries will effect their education, and you say, WTF is
this?
So, yeah, I'm not a big fan of things that smell like secret agendas. To me,
it's right in there with special 'student' programs that when you take a closer
look are just things that adults wanted to do and just used kids to get funding
or approval, or whatever.
