Why? Because our schools don't exist to educate our children. They stopped doing that years ago. Ever since the 1960's when radical Marxists took over the college campuses with a vengeance, the goal of education shifted from learning how to think to being indoctrinated with ideologies about what to think. The elevation of the "social sciences" above physical science, mathematics, and even the profession of teaching itself took place. The Marxist agenda of destroying America from within took root through the open doors of young minds by leftist "professors" that gladly pocketed money printed by the government they hated and preached against.
Those that learned to emulate their professors were pushed forward and encouraged to become teachers themselves so that the process of indoctrination could begin in high school or even earlier. Others who exhibited leadership skills were encouraged to become administrators within the educational system. From there they would play a vital role of employing fellow leftists in public schools across the country.
Over the ensuing years we watched each successive generation of teachers being less employable outside of education. With no other marketable skills, they were employed by the schools to further erode and dumb down students to their level of ideology. Like making copies on a bad copier and repeating the process over and over, the final result is what you see today. Students with no ability to read, write, compute, or think. 1 plus 1 is no longer 2. Rather, it's what you want it to be.
Your grades are based on skin color not knowledge. Your ability to move ahead is not based on individual merit, it's based on your victim status as defined by leftist thinking. In spite of the fact that America spends more money per pupil than any other country on earth, the ability of college age students ranks lower than many third world nations. Why is that?
Because the money being poured into education doesn't go toward education, it goes to salaries of these leftist administrators and teachers. And like those from the 1960's before them, they have no problem pocketing money printed by the country they collectively hate. It confirms their thesis that Americans are fools. Who else would be stupid enough to pay them to spout nonsense? Certainly, nobody else seeking employable people.
So why don't schools have paths to apprenticeships? That would mean these teachers lose their power to indoctrinate. Young people would actually learn something of value, something that could give them a means to provide for themselves rather than wait for a government handout. The only apprenticeship currently hat might be successful would be one aligned with teaching so as to perpetuate the fraud being conducted against the American public called "education".
The best thing that could happen to education today is a complete demolishing of our public schools after eighth grade. For each of the ensuing four years, students should be given two 5 month internships into fields that interest them. After 8 internships they should have a much better idea of what they like, what they're good at and possess a maturity that current high school graduates sorely lack. They and their parents would be better equipped to make decisions about their future direction. The country and the students would be far better off as a result.
And what about those displaced leftist teachers and administrators? They should be given the option of either one-way tickets to the leftist country of their choice or be employed to pick up trash and dog crap from our public spaces at minimum wage.
