Thanks to W at least none of the kids who can’t have been left behind.
I’d like to see a study showing how many teachers can’t read. I’ve met lots of people with college degrees who can’t read, can’t spell and can’t speak proper English. How did these people get college degrees?
The Three Rs stand in the way of “progress”.
An idiot could teach a child to read by age 8. The fact that in so many cases our schools cannot is a damning testimony against them, and a call to parents to home school. I’m amazed that it is still considered “normal” to put your kids in public school.
I was in military intelligence and could join MENSA tomorrow, yet I never got through basic Algebra. Never made any sense to me. My (adoptive) father hardly got to attend school during the depression, instead being sent out as a “hired man” to support his family, starting at age 11. But he was able to tackle Calculus.
If you have a skill, do you really need a degree in it? My mechanic earns $75 an hour. The trades pay good. We weren’t all meant to be Rocket scientists. Are we going to get into the bell curve analysis again? Environmental motivation has a lot to do with it. “Family” up bringing is a big deciding factor. The stronger the family relation, the better the chances are to being better educated.
And that’s burying the bad news: in many urban areas proficiency levels are much worse.

Urban areas are dominated by Democrats.
Ever notice that they weren't obese before we started giving the their meals.

Reading and writing and math do not change so why is it the kids are dumber? It has to be on purpose as far as I can tell.
Raising snowflakes! The cultural illness in our society is that everything said, done or seen is “about me!” The self-absorbed snowflake sickness is some people are unable to process that external stimulus isn’t necessarily about them - then they meltdown. The KEYSTONE to a strong self identity is faith, values, morals, and a REAL education.
