From most of the stuff I hear, it certainly sounds like it.

So how does teaching Creation impact a studen't lack of ability in math, balancing a checkbook, reading a table, etc etc. Sounds like an exucse to bash to me.
Kids lack real world, math, and other skills because of coddling parents and a lack of accountability to teachers and those kids. Lots of excuse making by parents "protecting" their kids. Not enough of making school important and "cool" among the poor. Putting too much importance on reality trash like American Idol and who Britney Spears is dating. Pop culture issues in this country plays a large part.
