[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“Everyone thinks they’re an expert on schools because they were once a student. But thinking you know how to teach kindergarten because you were once a kindergartener is like thinking you could direct a movie because you once watched Star Wars. Teaching is an art and a science. It requires specialized education and years of practice. Listen to teachers.”

Can someone explain the state of education in the US then? So many kids are failing.

And while you’re at it, explain how there are many homeschool success stories. We know many families nationwide that chose to homeschool during the pandemic rather than suffer through virtual school. Kids that were behind in math and reading were able to catch up (and some were able to progress beyond grade level) when they were given one-on-one attention and met where they were at.

SJH kills me. “SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK!” She’s unhinged! 🤣[/quote]

This is a great book on the sorry state of education in the US -- but it doesn't address systemic racism, which is probably an even larger part of the story: https://www.amazon.com/Search-Deeper-Learning-Remake-American/dp/0674988396

Education is almost as big a crisis as climate change. I genuinely fear for my children and future generations. [/quote]
