In response to Rob Rieman

If we do not give students the skills and language with which to communicate their intellectual selves, their hopes and questions beyond the physical object world, they express themselves through violence.

Is the focus on literacy and numeracy to the exclusion of the art and humanities, poetry... in effect denying them of the language to express their humanity, reducing us to mechanistic beings that move, and act without greater thought of meaning and consequences?
