“My mother was teaching in New Jersey for many years after that time and said by 1975 she could see the quality of the children deteriorating with the rise of junk food and junk cereal.”
I have a friend who just retired from teaching public school in NJ; she had students in her class who didn’t know the word for “book” (they would point and say “that thing” - in second grade). They didn’t have to worry about breakfast; most had it provided by the state. This friend laid the blame for the failing school squarely at the feet of the teachers’ unions, which pushed for the “social promotion” of illiterate students into high school.
Now a decent student is taught to the lowest curve and could be done by the 10th grade
See NYC could care less about Smoking at School, Skippig School or what ever the kid wants except educate him/her
