But I'm sure these kids know how to put a condom on banana and know all about transgenderism...

Sixty-five percent of the eighth graders in American public schools in 2017 were not proficient in reading and 67 percent were not proficient in mathematics, according to the National Assessment of Educational Progress test results released by the U.S. Department of Education.

The results are far worse for students enrolled in some urban districts.

Among the 27 large urban districts for which the Department of Education published 2017 NAEP test scores, the Detroit public schools had the lowest percentage of students who scored proficient or better in math and the lowest percentage who scored proficient or better in reading.

Only 5 percent of Detroit public-school eighth graders were proficient or better in math. Only 7 percent were proficient or better in reading.

Are the Russians hacking our schools, too?

Learning is for losers.

Knowledge is for failures.

What do you think the left has done to create this result?

What do you think the left has done to create this result?

Beyond turning schools into indoctrination centers vs centers of learning?

What do you think the left has done to create this result?

You tell me, since the left has been largely in charge of the education system for, like, forever...

So the right-wing has systemically underfunded US schools, and now they whinge when schooling is low quality? Cry me a river. The sad thing though is that it's the next generation who will pay for the faults of this generation of US right-wing nutters.

Your twisted way of seeing things is always amusing, Starlight.

What BS, look at the funding 40-50 years ago compared to today and the dropout rate for instance. We used to do more with less. I mean if you can't educate a kid for $12 or 14,000 a year you shouldn't be in the business.

I'm not so sure the issues in Detroit are political.

When you are not bound by reality you can dream up all sorts of... um, "stuff."

If our little homeschool was given 300,000 JUST for education, we could hire the best tutors, the best books, the best everything, to the tune of probably seeing our kids through the 12th grade each and it would include at least one or two extracurriculars.
