<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 654228, member: 66"]If you want a series to be truly educational it has to come out fairly quickly. Taking ten years to learn all the fifty states is silly. We learned them, and their capitals in just a couple months when I was in the third grade, and we didn't have any quarters to help us (except for maybe some paid as bribes by parents to get little johnny to learn them.) The President dollars were touted as a way to teach about the Presidents! Except that a student starting school in 2007 will be able to VOTE for the President and be out of school before the last one comes out. This would be like trying to teach a child to read by introducing him to another letter of the alphabet each month. By the end of the third grade he'll have all of them! (And considering the education guidelines call for having all student able to read by the end of the third grade I'm really afraid that's what they have planned.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
