Public schools are failing kids, and the school administrators are more worried/concerned about DEI initiatives than actual education

This is the even worse than most realize. In Orange County my average student would be the top student in over 25% of the schools, literally on the End of Course Exam my average score was higher than their high score. I have a mom contact me that her child was an honor roll student at one of the schools down town who is in my GEO class but can't do simple 2 step equations and can't figure out why he has a D. This is a skill my daughter learned in 4th grade and he is in 10th. The separation between the haves and have nots is going to grow in a scary manner over the next 20 years unless liberal cities start to push education standards.

They won't.  Too hard.  They'll just keep lowering standards.  It's what they do.

I am not speaking in hyperbole here- this article is horrifying and is why my average student would be the top student in most liberal areas. There is no opinion in math, it is logic, and logic is definitive. Teaching to the test in math means you can solve problems, the standards are large and broad making not hitting a standard means your student can't do math.

FakeNews that RedStates are better off.

 

BlueStates overall stomp the RedStates in so many metrics:

Yeah... But how does the real world application apply?  It doesn't.  You got Mississippi.  Hell of an education system there! 😆 🤣

Did you read the article? The "math" teachers are promoting social justice and politics in math class to little kids. That is a liberal mindset and once again why in Orlando my schools average kid would be some schools top student.

The new rules laid down from the Dept of Education are insane when it comes to field trips. My wife and her dept have done a trip for the honors kids where the parents have to pay about $1000 so their child can go for a 5 day trip to Williamsburg VA. This trip has been done for the past 20 years and due to additional regulations what use to be $400 is now passing $1000 which is unfortunate but doable for almost everyone in our community. Now the "equity" rules make it so that they can't discriminate on child behavior, parents ability to pay, or academic standing. Literally they have to open it up to all students and have to build in the "expected" hardship amount which raises the cost to $1600 a child and they would literally be required to accept the students caught at school having sex this year, while making my wife liable for the students behavior. The trip was just cancelled due to equity rules, Dems must be thrilled that the future kids won't have the same opportunity that we had 10 years ago.
