The results of 5 decades of neoliberal education policies. This is the intended outcome.

As someone who lived through it, I can tell you its standardized testing, that was the the trigger to the decline. When that was instituted, it gave states and school boards reason to standardize education. There is a state wide curriculum, teachers are supposed to basically hit certain benchmarks, by a certain time in the year. There is no account for kids who struggle or kids who excel. They are left behind or stunted. Then rather they are ready for the next grade is completely based on a test, that may far exceed what they've been exposed to. Teachers actually have no freedom to teach, but to simply guide kids through a book and have them remember and regurgitate.
Other factors though, like no longer teaching music early in education, music teaches a lot of math. The decline of news is also a part of it, I remember my reading level far outpaced where I was simply because, I stopped reading books on my level and shifted to news print early. I learned a lot of new words, topics, more complex understanding of reading and the English language all because news print was more intricate. Discipline needs to be more strict and non-negotiable from the outset. Kids need to also be made to be more involved in school. Clubs, sports, band and choir, needs to be requirements. Teaching kids to go school for 7 hours because they have to and come home and forget it until they go back, is preparing them to be grunt workers at menial jobs rather than to excel.

Why?

I believe the shift to online learning and not paper grading so the kids get feedback on their wrong answers has been a net negative. No more hard copy text books etc tech is dumbing us down

This 19 year old black kid that works in the shop at my office legit can’t read. Listening to him read the safety meeting bulletin is fricking painful and maddening.
Very nice kid, hard worker, never complains, but he has like a 4th grade reading level.
The public school system is fricking failing these kids and it all started when Carter introduced the federal education bureaucracy. Test grades in the US have dropped like a rock ever since it was implemented.
Eta: of course he went to Booker T. Washington High School.

It's not racism, it's not ideological, it's technological. Young people don't read books anymore. They just watch videos now.
