[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Public education as a whole has gone downhill. We are almost 25 years into No Child Left Behind. It is fundamentally flawed as it rewards short cuts, doesn’t encourage real learning (don’t think just check box on test), and has eliminated viable alternative paths such as trade programs.

Not everyone needs to go to college; most people don’t thrive in a pressure cooker test taking environment; and yes - now we “pass” students along to meet regulations ($$$$) instead of truly helping them comprehend subject matter. Common core is boring and sucks the joy out of learning.

As an employer, it is noticeable that this younger generation can’t think for themselves. No problem solving, creativity; it’s just box checking at work, in life…don’t like something, cancelled…

As a parent of a Gen Alpha, I’m truly concerned about what they are going to be like in the workplace. We are going to need to stock Ritalin in breakrooms next to the Keurig.

No Child left Behind was replaced in 2015 by the Every Student Succeeds Act, which reversed many of the mandates of the original act[/quote]
