Hopefully, you did not personally pay for that turd...
In economic reality partly. Landmark did provide some scholarship funds. The rest was largely paid as part of a family member's RMD from 401K/IRA accounts. That reduces my wife's bequests, obviously. There ain't no such thing as a free lunch. TANSTAAFL.
Virginia, see Virginia moving to eliminate all accelerated math courses before 11th grade as part of equity-focused plan (link) and CD thread Virginia eliminating accelerated math until 11th and 12th, and California, see In the Name of Equity, California Will Discourage Students Who Are Gifted at Math(link) are eliminating honors programs through Grade 10 and Grade 9, respectively. Excerpt:
One of two things will happen or both will happen:
Parents who want their children to get a real education will pull their children out of public schools, further reducing support for school programs and budgets; and/or
Japan, Singapore, Israel and China will laugh at us while they continue to educate their children.
All this while we emulate lemmings, destroying ourselves in the name of wokeness.
The thread was about Virginia only and did not discuss the general trend of trashing education in "penitence" for the police killing of a druggie during a struggle.
Virginia has become increasingly more liberal in the last 10 years or so, and this last year has taken a sharp Leftist Turn. It is absolutely appalling that leftists, in their effort to paint everyone as “equal,” are suppressing and hiding the abilities of our brightest children. If I were a parent of a school-age child now, I would either put him or her in private school or, if that were unaffordable, move to a normal, non-liberal state.

Leftists have us in a race to the bottom.
I left Virginia over a decade ago, couldn't take it anymore, and I was living in the richest town in the state.
Basically all education levels have been dumbed down to accommodate the "underserved".
From kindergarten to Ivy League.
Not sure what you're basing that off of but I can assure you the education my kids got was not even remotely "dumbed down" and they went to public schools and state universities.
I work with talented young new hires all the time, there are problems in some places but don't let the anecdotes from a country of 330mil. jade you.

No, we had a thread about CA too. Lol.
Link please? The reason I did not post this on the "Virginia" thread in the "Education" sub-forum is that my content was likely to be controversial. TOS, you know?
