[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Back in the day, school seemed focused on academics. Now it seems like school is focused on anything except academics.  Parents across the country supplement with their kids outside school - in many or all subjects - not just for math.

I am realizing the main current benefit of elementary school for our DC is just socialization.

Just shut up.

You're the idiot. None of what this person is saying is wrong. Public schools shouldn't exist to brainwash children on topics that the vast majority of Americans disagree with. The fact is most kids have literally become dumb not because of who they are but what they weren’t taught in the 4 traditional core subjects.

I can't begin to count the number of hours at school dedicated to non-academics every single day. I've been saying for years to just teach our kids the 2-4 hours of actual subject material being taught per day and let them leave school so they can be productive in their sports, activities, and outside interests. Or actually raise the pathetic state curricular standards and teach them for 6+ hours per day

And the socializing argument makes no sense, either. As if you can't learn to play nice with people while excelling in academics. Furthermore, I notice the most woke parents still have kids whose friends all look like them and not other groups.
