This is a challenge to the education system. In Oregon the democrat legislature/ governor removed all graduation standards for high schools.
One thing I’ve noticed over the years— whenever “attacks” are made on our failing government educational system, parents inevitably defend “their” schools and teachers.
And of course there will be kids who succeed in spite of poor schools or declining culture of excellence. But we must start facing the facts snd try to stop the slide. I’m not sure this will happen with a “one size fits all” monopoly, government controlled system.
Parents need to be in control— schools succeeded best when control was completely local and bad or weak educators could be fired. And all the social manipulation ( except for extreme bullying) was left to families. Schools need to be private. That’s the only way to roll back the crazy.
