No... It's = It is, as in "It is no wonder people can't spell... "

I think teaching general meditation techniques is a good idea in schools. It's a useful tool to have in my opinion. Bringing in religious aspects/teachings of meditation is not though. I can see where people would complain... My sister was taught meditating allowed demons to enter her body by some backwater baptist chruch...

You think? I've always attributed it to the development of the Professional Administrator class.

I wish I still had a copy of an old op-ed piece, pointing out the decline in school quality as the number of school districts skyrocketed, out of all proportion to actual population growth. 4 or 5 school districts per state in the '50s, compared to 2 or 3 per community now.

And with each cloned school district came elected careers for the rigging, and taxing authority to pay for board members, Superintendents, and cadres of vice and assistant principals at big salaries and hidden perks.

Meanwhile the textbooks never got upgraded, and the teachers were mugged by the unions and the trickle-down workload imposed by so many new layers of bureaucracy...

And oddly enough, actual learning started to evaporate about that time.
