Christina Villegas has written an excellent and very important article but the problems she cites go way deeper into the present and more importantly the future of America and the world.
The dumbing down of America's schools and our students has created several generations of progressively less well educated Americans.
Once America recovers the political will to reverse this horrible trend where will the necessary well-educated people come from to initiate and carry out the reversal? We will need many thousands of great teachers. Where will we find them?
America has been the gravitational center of world freedom for a couple of hundred years. That center has now lost a large portion of its mass. What is going to replace this crucial centering mass? China and Russia? Their core education is way ahead of ours.
So while "the plan" has dawdled along waiting for the normies to realize what's going on, a generation of American children has been sacrificed to leftist, radical progressive ideology. That generation will be seen to be very important to the preservation of America's role at the center of world freedom. And it is gone.
The learning years are a physiological reality. You can't get them back once they've been squandered. Mathematics is taught to young eager minds for the reason that those minds are able to absorb mathematics. We don't teach maths to middle aged folks, do we?
So we need to get the damn plan moving. Even a crash program with a complete reversal of teaching priorities will not suffice to replace what we've allowed to slip away. Time does not come back. Youth does not return.

Yes, it did.
Will it be possible to recover our position of world leadership?
It's already an uphill fight against many nations that are well ahead of us in core-subjects education.
The learning of core subjects is also the process of learning how to think accurately and deeply about any subject.
That's why the WEF/NWO people have been dumbing down the core of education for decades. They want us unable to think with clarity about anything.
Of course it will. But it's not a question of isolating education as one issue, this requires our own reset and taking back our American culture.
Stop poisoning our babies with toxic injections.
Stop poisoning our families with toxic foods and water, replace with clean foods.
1776 curriculum and clean education- at home, at pods, co-ops, anywhere except government indoctrination centers. Return home economics and workshops to the curriculum. Remedial classes available for the 'lost' generation! We don't need video games, we need good books! Youth don't need mobile devices, they need tools from pencils to knitting needles to pliers.
One parent stays home- to save the kids' souls first. Also stop paying daycare, stupid phone/data/cable/coffee prices, remake all the priorities. When one parent is missing, families must band together- if yours won't then group with other families and make a new one.
Rebuild everything- grow/raise food, be ingenious, get together with neighbors and remake the definitions of life. Get local, but not isolated.
Everyone must be expected to assume their civic duties and participate in self-governance, because lazy complacency got us here and can no longer be allowed. Full privileges only to those who participate.
