Everyone that trumpets their child’s district as the “best” don’t always get that there is nothing that is best in many cases. Do they even know what their kids do at school all day. A lot of it has nothing to do with education and when they receive some education it is more so focused on things that support test preparation and ultimately passing the standardized test.
So how do you explain the vast increase in things like AP classes over time, if nobody is getting educated today?

Those people can succeed anywhere. The trade skill portion actually limits their potential success (trade output is lower margin than other products that person could sell).

Uh, because the standards for "AP" courses have been lowered as the testing standards have been lowered?
Even the SAT removed a more "natural talent" measured component of the test in favor of a more test prep oriented type test.

LOL.
AP classes are actually the biggest reason IMO that college students are graduating from college without being able to tell you things like what the Cold War was.
They don't learn anything in AP classes in high school and the AP classes exempt them from having to take the classes in college. So they never learn anything.

I didn’t say no one was being educated. I indicated that the schools are focused on the testing as their top priority.
College enrollment is projected to increase in the next decade and AP courses are one tool that separates applicants qualifications.

That is kinda my point in that these folks don’t require a degree.
