What Are The Public Schools Teaching Our Kids?

This evening, we were supporting the Georgetown Elementary School PTA by eating dinner at Chic fil A. If we gave them our little tickets, the school gets 15% of the proceeds of our purchase (and the teacher with the most tickets gets a chicken party of some sort).

As we're finishing up with our meal, and while we are battling Finley to keep her out of the overcrowded play area, Cadence says something that shocks us both.

"Today, at school I learned what an 'ass-kick' is."

As you can imagine, Melissa and I were taken a little by surprise. I asked her to repeat the word several times, with the same result of her saying 'ass-kick' several more times.

Finally, Melissa asked her to explain exactly what as 'ass-kick' is, and Cadence started down a complicated and indirect way of explaining the 'axis' of a sphere...

What are the public schools coming to when your kids don't even learn the correct definition of an 'ass-kick.' Going to have to have a talk with her teacher...
