It makes me sick, and sad to think of what children are going through! I am a teacher in a small town district: No pride flags, no teachers (I know of) grooming kids, no CRT... Some places still teach kids! Not all teachers are monsters.
The problem is complex: 1) parents have to work too much - who can home school if both parents work two jobs? 2) Who has energy for a life if they are working two jobs? 3) Too many electronics too young are changing the way kids brains actually work, 4) Mass media creates narratives where kids are smart and parents are derpy...
I agree with you, but the school superintendent within my area is a real gem. He stated to me that it wasn't the schools' problem with the children not learning how to read and write, but the problem lies with the parents not taking the time after work and dinner to read to the little tikes. Well, what are we paying taxes for????????
IMO - It could be both. I tell mu parents that they should create memories reading with their children: snuggles with a good book, honest praise for decoding tricky words...
I just can't see my blue-haired old third grade teacher doing anything like that.
Most teachers I know now joined NEA solely for the free liability insurance.

The whole system needs a reset.

I agree! I do not require homework!
