I was talking with a 9th grade social studies teacher and she does a little "test" at the beginning of the school year to see where kids are at. She told me 1/3 of her class didn't know where the capital of the US was. We had those memorized by 2 or 3rd grade when growing up.
Teachers Union on full display.
As are the parents.
School has always , always been, a day care facility first and an education curriculum second , - - - - -
Not for our family and not where we grew up. I am sorry to know you experienced that.
