[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Between the learning loss during Covid and the clear attempts to de-emphasize education, both at the K-12 level and universities, we are seeing the dumbing down of America. It is scary. We are increasingly having rule of the idiot class.

Praying that we can survive as a nation until future elections and that we will have fair elections.

Were things perfect before? Heck no. But this is an extreme pivot in the opposite direction and an extreme over-reaction. But MAGA nation does not believe in incrementalism. They exist only to "stick it to the libs." And to "win."

Well, they are winning. And they will pay the price.

And no, I'm not over-reacting. I actually care about the total well-being of other people. They don't.

The dumbing down of America is being led by the left. Abolishing gifted and talented programs, “test optional” , replacing phonics with Lucy Calkins, “equity math,” so-called de-tracking, inclusion of unstable and violent kids in regular classes, Obama’s “dear colleagues” letter (google it).

The left is destroying education in the USA.[/quote]

We score practically dead last in PISA out of all developed countries while spending the most amount per student.

Much of the federal funds are wasted through fraud and corruption. [/quote]

If the United States wants to improve its PISA standing, is banning gifted and talented programming the smartest way to do it? [/quote]
