We cannot pretend to answer this question without first taking a good, hard look at the society in which our schools are floating, and then thinking of this society as a rather sadly polluted sea in which our schools, as ships, are navigating under great difficulty, and finding it impossible to completely seal off all seepage from entering the classrooms on the backs of the pupils corrupted by their environment and their inability to divorce themselves from envelopment in unsavory behavior and total indifference to academic achievement, which when considered thoroughly from all viewpoints leads to the conclusion that our schools are doing a commendable job of staying afloat as capably as they do in water not conducive to sailing; if fact it can be said with complete honesty that our teachers, our school administrators, and our boards of education are doing an exemplary job of doing what they are supposed to do if not what they should be empowered and encouraged to do, since no subject matter is ever taught in isolation of philosophic ideals and all students eventually construct for themselves wholesome patterns of life.
