Remember when schools just taught reading, writing and arithmetic?
Answer us this:
Do you think China and Russia are teaching their kids this woke social crap instead of actually EDUCATING them to become scientists, engineers, doctors, etc?
The rest of the world is laughing at us while Democrats cheer on our kids indoctrination into woke social stupidity.
HA! Sorry, the schools long ago gave that up. The majority of your schools cater to the athletics side of the curriculum because that is what brings in the grants and federal money now.
Twenty-two states are suing the U.S. Department of Agriculture over its decision to interpret “sex” in Title IX to include “sexual orientation and gender identity.” As The Federalist previously reported, this interpretation would mean that schools could lose federal funds for lunch programs unless they allow boys in girls’ bathrooms.
Notice none of the above has anything to do with actual education.
Because the focus has been removed. No one cares if kids are educated.
The argument presented over several posts is that the parent needs to ensure that the child practices reading along with ensuring their homework is done, they are with the child 18 hours a day not the teacher. But the poster lays it squarely on the teacher everything is their fault and I disagree with that.
I think this is reasonable.
Nothing should ever be placed squarely on any teacher. It is a team effort. If as a parent you see your kid not keeping up, you need to step up for them. And think about a different school.
Do bad teachers exist? sure do. School systems are getting mentally abused by government going this way and that, paralyzing them and coercing them into these dumb policies. Losing focus. Which trickles down into letting these whack teachers stay instead of firing them, and firing or losing the good ones.

Whose fault is it if after 13 years of "education" a person cannot read or do math at a basic functioning level?
The parents?
If so, then WTH is the purpose of public schools since teachers have no responsibility for the education of students?
It's a reasonable question, and one that posters are ignoring. Because if it is the parents fault, we don't need to spend any money on public schools. Shut them down.

I am not ignoring anything. And I am not saying it is the parents fault or teachers exclusively. It is a team effort. I will not absolve a parents responsibility in sharing the task of educating their kids.
Nor will I absolve a teacher's.
I agree, there are some bunk schools out there with lazy teachers. And I point to the school systems that enable these bad teachers to remain. I point to frivolous woke government guidelines that take the focus off of education that coerces schools to keep the teachers who play along.
Fortunately for me, I am able to live in a community that still has excellent schooling and results. But I can see the edges trying to erode away at every PTA meeting. Hopefully schools like this can weather this sjw storm. It will just mean less competition for the 'real' jobs.

Any school that allows the graduation of 18 year olds who cannot read or do basic math has FAILED.
How lazy do teachers have to be that after 13 years .... the kids still aren't educated? And what types of checks and balances are systemically ignored so administrators and teachers unions literally do not care and look the other way?
That's on the schools. I'm not talking about graduating rocket scientists, that takes parental involvement. But every kids, regardless of parental involvement, should graduate with BASIC skills.
Otherwise there is no point for public schooling if that is not the goal. And if teachers aren't held accountable, again, then what the crap are they being paid to do?

No the actual proposed law by the state delegate if she presented it would create a state level requirement to recognize a Childs preferred gender association but it has all ready been shot down.
This was a response to our T-Party hack of a Governor "new proposed education policy to roll back school protections for students who identify as transgender but don’t want to confront their parents." https://richmond.com/news/state-and-...b99bf6f0e.html
But you keep promoting the Red Meat talking points as you posted above because that's what people want to believe even though they are nowhere near the truth.

Well thankfully the majority of Virginians voted in your "T-party hack of a Governor" precisely because of insane woke proposals like this one
Far left woke lunatics need to realize the moment you start messing with parents and pushing an extreme transgender agenda, you WILL be tossed out like yesterday's garbage.
