Children Should be Taught Not Shielded

Children Should be Taught Not Shielded


 With student scores falling lower every year, school boards are now weeding out words that might upset some children. Schools were established to teach children about the world around them and give them enough knowledge to live a good successful life. Not to shield them and let them live in ignorance. Our educators today are off the beaten path. They cheat to give kids high scores when they fail, and now they take common words from tests that might be upsetting. Our children don’t need to be shielded. they need to be taught how to navigate the world they live in.

They are also delicious with almonds, which shouldn’t be surprising, both are members of the same family.
