Why would achient myths (Greek Mythology) be more important than actual history? Such as King Arthur, Queen Elizibeth, the Mongul Hord, or Alexander the Great. Are these people less important, or less interesting? There may not be a moral behind many the stories, but it is better to learn about what can, will, or has happened than tall tales about monsters, or anchient religious beliefs. If you want good moral stories, read the Bible. Such as the story about the protical son. Just because people no longer believe in the Greek gods, does not make it any less religious than the Bible.

Why do teachers need to always teach the same boaring books? My theroy is that what would be best is to give the parents a say in there childrens education. People are always complaining, trying to sue schools, ex... Well you know when you go to a Presidential election they also have other laws for you to vote on at the same time? Why not have parents make decisions on what there children should be learing about in school at parent teacher meetings. For example, for the books to be read for English could be any of twenty or thirty which you want to vote for. When tallied up take five or so and allow the kids to decide wich book they want to read. You see the schools can choose a wide seletion, the parents can limit it to what they think is important, and the kids still get some choice. This way as many people as possible are happy with the choices. Also Books should not repeat in a four year period so as to keep kids from re-reading the same material again. The same idea would apply to books for American History, Math, Geology, ex... This I think would help improve the Education system, and create a fair way of choosing what is to be taught in schools. Please tell me how you feel, and if you think my system is un-fair, or will not work. Thanks for your imput.
