No room at all for simplistic education. Reading, writing, and arithmetic. I sure wouldn’t be calling this worth the dollars each State spends on public education. The buck stops at the school board, and to generalize they have become over time, rubber stamps for what we see today as not worth our time or money.
I was able to deal with the unexplained acronyms but I didn’t like it.
I just wonder what the future survival rate will be for those children now in the public education system? On another note it is very difficult to put a stop to a system that has grown to the size of the present monster business that is public education.
It’s not a matter of difficulty.
It’s a matter of will.
“...the present monster business that is public education.”

American education has “progressed” as leftists (John Dewey, Frankfurt School adherents) wanted.
