We have a long history of fences. Every nation does.  Lines are drawn around our family,  property next,  city, state, and finally the entire nation. The tendency to draw lines apparently goes all the way back to the creation of man.  History indicates that man has always fought over his "lines".  Isn't this an elementary history of most wars ?  Recently, several scientists   invented a weapon that would win all wars, the Atomic bomb. An unwanted side effect is that man now may have  enough power to blow the earth right out of orbit.  It was, I suppose, inevitable that the atomic bomb technology would spread. There are now a dozen nations, some quite unstable, that have the atomic technology.   The good guys, led by the citizens of the United States,  have a right to be worried, very worried because we are not the most stable and reliable nation any more.

It accurately described what was then happening in our nation's K-12 schools and went on to predict the inevitable result. 30 years have now gone by. The essay has proven to be 99% correct. Since 1983 Americas' K-12 educational system has steadily declined. All those years of special committees, study groups, self described experts, political and union interferences, and etc. - all have failed.  Still, we continue to insist on the same programs and policies. Make sense to you? In 1960 the system was quite different. Teachers began classes at 8:00 a.m. and school ended about 3:30 p.m. They dressed professionally. Men@Suit & Tie / Women@Skirts & Dresses Students sat at their desks, feet on the floor, and spoke only when required. The Principal or Vice Principal applied "corrective counseling and punishment".
