Sad on the teacher. Yes on the kids camps!
I think American education has dummied down a lot. Just AP English alone shows it. Used to cover the first 2 semesters of college english but no longer. They do cover somethings not done befor in computer areas, but that's to be expected. Math and science seem to be holding?
