They may be illiterate, but we must support their 'mental health' and right to walk out of school and protest at all costs.

Ahhh...I could write a 50 page diatribe on the utter stupidity of modern education. The advent of technology, computers, internet, etc have utterly destroyed education...in every sense.
With math, it is simple. Computers favor the correct answer rather than the process of how to get the correct answer. A teacher has no idea whether a student guessed the incorrect answer or simply made a careless math mistake. Everything is multiple choice, and there is no partial credit. When we were kids, we'd receive homework back daily, with red ink. Now? Homework is submitted online where it is automatically graded. No corrections are returned. Kids have no idea where they made a mistake.
And it's the same with reading. books need to be physical pssessions. They need to be underlined, highlighted, etc. You siomply cannot do that on a computer.

I'm in favor of just seeing how not being able to read, do math and the like, plays out instead of hand-wringing and reeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

They probably don't have time to teach math and reading with all the climate change, CRT and other more important priorities.

But... Department of Education
While the DOE is a worthless entity, the majority of the problem with the dumbing down of Americas youth is completely on the shoulders of shitty parents.
These parents do not instill or expect their children to excel in school. They consider school to be free day care. This is not all parents but a lot of them fall into this category.
My wife (no pics) is a 5th grade teacher here in Tuscaloosa and what she has noted is a complete lack of interaction with parents. Then never come to parent teacher conferences, they dont care if the child just sits in class and never does any work. Many arrive at school smelling of weed.
This country needs a revitalization of responsibility. Across the board. From parents being responsible for their children, to judges being responsible for letting out violent criminals with zero bail etc. To individuals being responsible for their own financial situation (not lifetime welfare recipents).

The report card did however show near 100% proficiency in understanding the 82 different genders.
So we got that going for us.

Look back at the immigration and test score correlation.

The education world is in such a catch 22
First they say give us your kids and we will educated them and you don't need to be involved.
Parents withdraw from their kids lives as far as education goes like the Government schools asked them to do. A lack of involvement at home leads to collapse of the education system as students continue to fail when only the school is involved in the child's education.
If they blame parents for their lack of involvement it shows that the education system can't educate children' properly and parents at home need to be involved.
They know they need the parents to help but can't ask, and they can't hold parents responsible because they told parents we don't need you to do anything.
Education is up shite creek without a paddle.

How are our scores for LGBQTXTZ??
Teachers who promote that over academics, I need to be barred from teaching.

If I had to guess it's due to mass migration (language barrier) and COVID.

Beginning to think shutting down schools for 2-years was a bad idea, no?
Covid was the greatest weapon ever unleashed on mankind.
Wrecked the global economy by printing and wasting $10 Trillion.
Wrecked a generation of kids.
Wrecked trust in medical profession.
Wrecked race relations by way of taxpayer funded riots.
Wrecked hundreds of thousands of mom and pop businesses.
Wrecked an unknown number of lives by way of vaccine injury, skyrocketing drug and alcoholism and domestic violence cause by unemploying people, locking them in their houses, and sending them money to get drunk and high everyday.
Covid was a human sacrifice of the living and the dead. An unbelievable course of events 5-years on.

Thanks, its frickin occams razor. Its not funding, covid shutdowns, blah blah blah.
We have millions and millions of kids in schools who speak swahili, solamian, mandarin, and dozens of other languages...as well as spanish. So they cant read in english....and they drag down every other kid while the teacher tries to learn spanish to teach the dozen kids who cant speak english.
And the Karens who bitch about their illiterate kids.....are protesting against ICE....oh the irony.

“Wrecked trust in medical profession”
People had too much trust in the medical profession,it needed to be ramped down.
That’s why so many people willingly took the Covid “vax” and all the boosters.Many people,sought them out,believed all the bullshite about how deadly Covid was( it was for certain people) and how the “vax” was going to
keep them from getting Covid and therefore save their lives.
During Covid I never once asked anyone if they took the jab but I did have several people ask me and when I told them no they acted like I was a total idiot,Especially since I was a retired nurse,they thought I was a heretic,of sorts.
Because I was a retired nurse was exactly why I didn’t take the “vax”,I knew
how many times the medical profession was wrong,I knew how any times drugs came to market that turned out to be useless and sometimes dangerous.I also knew about Pfizer’s history of corruption so I didn’t trust them.
Many older nurses I knew that had been in the profession a long time had the same mindset I did and refused the “vax”
What surprised me was how many Drs,esp.older Drs.fell for the scam,I would have thought they would have been more skeptical,would have researched it more as I did.

just 35% of high school seniors were proficient in reading
How in the hell is it even possible to be unable to read with proficiency above the age of ten? Where are the extremely low test results coming from to establish such a low national average?
My mother taught 1st through 7th grades in a one-room school house in rural Lincoln County, West-by-God-Virginia in the late 1950s and early 1960s and had much better prepared students than what our current educational institutions are turning out.
