One thing they don't teach any more is character. Unfortunately that has
even shown up on the ham bands.

Times change, unfortunately.
In my early school days (two room school house, grades 1-4 in one room,
5-7 in the other, no such thing as kindergarten, right into grade 1 at 5.) we
were required to memorize "Gunga Din, "In Flanders Fields" and the
"Gettysburg Address" and recite them in class. Poppys were required wear on 11/11
and there was a 2 minute moment of silence at 11:00am. "Remember Pearl
Harbor" was a way of life, not a forgotten cliche. Of course there were some
lighter moments too, who all remembers the "duck and cover" drills?
I hate to think of what is being taught (or not taught) in school today.
