Exactly.

For all of our lives we have been preached to about how important education, especially early education, is for our kids. For about the last 30 years we have been told how American kids are falling way behind the rest of the world. We started all of these STEM programs to emphasize science & tech in hopes of catching up.

Now, all of a sudden education doesn't matter one iota. Why aren't parents screaming in the streets about their kids' future & lack of education? How long are they going to allow their kids to go uneducated? Why are they willing to sacrifice their children's future?

What happened to the importance of youth sports? Remember when they told us how we needed night basketball, boxing rings, soccer fields... to keep the kids off the streets & cut crime? What happened to all of that?

I've said it before, but every weekend, if not every day, almost every kid participated in sports or other extracurricular activity. Now all that has been stopped. Why are parents not resisting? Do they not care anymore? How could it be one of the central themes in many people's lives, then it is taken away & nobody seems to be complaining?

I don't understand any of it.
