I think American public schools don't teach what chickens, hens, and roosters are.

Ummm no

And they should be? Not what I send my kid to school to learn.

This

It's kind of very basic knowledge, stuff you should be taught in kindergarten

No. A child should know this well before kindergarten

I agree, but given the state of ag knowledge amongst the general public, I think schools might not have a choice but to teach it.

I legit had to explain to a man who was my age or older that brown cows don't produce chocolate milk

Humph. I remember a "test" one of my kds came home with, in first gade or so, with a generic line-drawing of some sort of waterfowl on it. Coulda been a duck or a goose, who could tell? I don't remember what my kid id'd it as, but it was marked wrong. It seriously looked like it was drawn by a near-sighted 3rd grader who'd never been near any kind of poultry. I couldn't tell what it was supposed to be, myself. So don't get me started on our educational system. You want your kid to get an education? Teach them to read before they start school and that means no screens of any kind, including tv until they can read to you at a third-grade level and love it. At that point, anything they want or need to learn, they can find out. That's how I got so smart most people assumed I was a college graduate (I'm not). And it's how I raised my kids, both litters. And I'd do it again.

But that still should not be taught in a public school. They have loads of other stuff that is more important
