Latest sign of education and skill decline in public schools: kids apparently no longer competent to open those old square cardboard milk cannisters, reports Chicago Sun-Times:

"Those ... square containers are awfully hard for kids," says New Hampshire Agriculture Commissioner Steve Taylor, who has watched the trend [of switching to round plastic bottles] spread to some 320 schools in New England. "Teachers say you can spend the whole lunch period just walking around and opening those containers."
