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.

Is this a program or are your just referring to how resilient we are?
Yankee Ingenuity means Improvisational design or problem-solving, dealing with low availability of replacement parts and materials. (from a google search)
This is where we are now, so we will see who can be improvisational! It’s like those critical thinking skills that half of our society didn’t get.
When the trucks stop running because of pig pee, yankee ingenuity will figure it out and make things work. We always do.
You ain't seen Hispanic ingenuity- where some guys in Cuba took an ancient pickup truck and discarded parts to make a raft that got them to Florida, or where central Americans cobble together working vehicles from parts left after cartel battles, or rural guys in South America that had never seen certain appliances but seriously fix them anyway... There are simply some people that can literally figure out anything. Which is why the elites keep wanting to poison all youth but theirs with toxins to dumb then down. Brave New World.
Hunger is a great motivator, these snow flakes will adapt because they must or die. I know people all over the world are resourceful, funny your back handed handed slur of me.
