Without getting too political, I agree - education SHOULD BE more than just getting grades. The problem is these days, it's all about the grades (from the student/parent perspective) and it's all about furthering particular political agendas (school perspective). The system is just as broken as the healthcare system (at least here in the USA). Students get caught in the middle and ultimately end up being the losers.

Kudos to you for trying to impart some real-world value into the kids' education. This is something that our current generation of "educators" doesn't really do. They just try to indoctrinate and make sure enough of their students score high enough on the standardized tests where they can keep their jobs.
