I just heard this amazing man speak and play djembe on the radio...Kokomon Clottey. He made neat music, and he was also thorough, loving, and quite intelligent in imploring the audience to help others with time and love instead of vague ideas.

he said that the biggest problem with the American educational system and child-rearing in society is that parents "divorce themselves from their children" when they enter school, allowing the govt free rein in deciding curriculum and customs. Not so in his native Ghana, where a parent or other representative community member attended to his studies. There, also, all the elders in society discipline all the children.

Anyway, American parents are lazy. He said it so nicely and concisely.
