Soon to follow in the dustbin of memories will be the diplomas that stood as symbols of academic success. Schools for our children today are becoming alien places. The old buildings still look the same. Former Education Secretary Bell must be proud. We've certainly broken away from the old ways.

Psychology is the driving force for today's education programs. Every child is analyzed, evaluated and scrutinized. Values and beliefs are questioned, attacked and remediated. Social interaction between young adolescent boys and girls is being revolutionized and somehow made to seem dirty. The new curriculum no longer allows students to learn academically, slowly making career choices in their own time.
