still being in public school myself i can assure you that although much of what lonethougt says is assumed by some of the country, this is not at all being taught..lonethought is a baby boomer anyways..shes from the old school..if anything the more modern ways of teaching are able to demonstrate the food chain and the importance of these "pests" to our own survival..i think the only pests we should worry about are those darn Trolls..hehehe..Peace.Bodhi
