God has ZERO to do with it

Primary education funding has kept up with inflation and surpassed it in some areas
Some areas have great education systems, some don't. Applying a blanket statement for things happening in this country is rarely an accurate exercise.
I bet if you were to drill down into the data, funding would have some correlation with education levels.

It fascinates me how the youth are getting dumber with the entire world in their hands to learn.
The amount of information out there to read and soak in is incredible yet they focus on things that will not benefit them down the road and they know this.

God shouldn’t be in a public classroom
It’s not God, as much as morals, which originated and is mostly based on God and religion. Poor kids and kids that’s grow up without a normal family unit generally lack a good moral foundation and that means teaching them anything they don’t want to do is extremely difficult.

A bunch of former sorostitutes turned middle aged Karens with made up post grad degrees are in near complete control of school administrative positions.
We don't have enough male teachers in our schools. Most won't like this but I'd be willing to take pay away from female teachers to pay male teachers more to lure more men into the profession.

1. Removal of God from the classroom - sadly, these days you even mention God in the classroom, you could get written up, fired, or some radical group might show up outside your school protesting.
Oh please, they do not to be indoctrinated in schools. The parents do that enough..

Yeah it does. Organized religion incentivizes people to act within an acceptable social framework. Your opinions on whether he's real or not are irrelevant.

I think the issue is overly-permissive structures that don't teach accountability. They're well-intentioned, but not scaffolded correctly

The parents don't do it enough, which is the problem.

The answer is the implementation of The Department of Education. Anything the federal government touches turns to shite. Once money flows there is no stopping the outcome.

do you see the price per kid in public schools compared tot private
Is there a link? I'd love to see that

It's all about poor parenting and shitty kids.
People have been educated in one-room schoolhouses and/or tiny rural schools with little infrastructure and gone on to become presidents, engineers, astronauts, etc.
If people want to be educated and are held accountable at home, all the other bullshite is irrelevant.

I don’t disagree with you. My point was simply that God should not be in a public school.
Morals and respect should be taught at home but it isn’t and it shows.

The main reason is increasing academic expectations coupled with decreasing accountability to meet these expectations.

The worst school systems spend the most per child. I believe DC schools spend the most.

I would contend it has been the opposite.
Everything from reading to grammar to math to all of the social sciences has shown decreased expectations.

I believe you. I'd just like to see that data so I can through it my Uber liberal teacher friend's face and make her cry a little bit.

The real culprit is the deterioration of the family structure which leads to a parent that doesn't give a shite, so school is more of a daycare to get the brat out of the house for the day than a learning environment. You're with your kids twice as much as a teacher is, they learn from you.
Naw.. Just make that Bullet point 4
