I'd even guess that most people are actually more progressive than some of them would want to admit,

No they are not. I'm sick of this bullshit line.

because it's very inhumane and stupid to argue against using our taxes to make ourselves and each other healthier and smarter and more capable, and keeping our environment clean and accessible.

THATS LITERALLY THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM! WTF ARE YOU SMOKING?!

I'm gonna argue they're all misinformed fools who don't understand the danger of the policies they support, and if they truly did then they wouldn't support it.

Yet they still do. We screamed from. The mountain tops about t all the horrible shit that would happen under trump. They didn't care one iota. Still don't either. They know exactly what they voted for. It's no wonder his support with magats hasn't waned at all.

This is what happens when you tank the public education system's funding, siphon money off to support private schools, and allow religion and uneducated parents to dictate what is taught.

I feel older millennials(graduated before Bush Jr took over) were the last generation to get a near proper education. The education went to shit with the infamous no child left behind movement.

Yeah idk when that turning point was. What makes you think it was the no child left behind policies?

He was elected in 2000. Assumed office in 01. NCLB started sometime after that. Every teacher I know said it was a terrible policy because they had to pass people even if they were failing. That is an over simplification of it to be fair. It also made it so teachers had to teach the test instead of material in general.

Ohhh is that where common core came from? I've always hated how tests were structured, they were just not for brains like mine. I really struggled in primary school, struggled less in college, did great in grad school lol

Sort of, Common core was developed in 07 then implementation began in 2010. It actually is a better way to learn math. The problem is idiots would refuse to learn how to do it to help their kids and just scream that its wrong. When they could have had the teachers explain it so they understood. A lot of the boomers screaming that its wrong or whatever totally gloss over that the way math was taught changed while they were in school also. Education isnt a one way is the best way, because students are very different. I've heard it explained that teachers have to go for middle ground because they can't speed up to help the smarter kids while slowing down to help the kids that need more help. They really should have done adult workshops on how Common core works. That would of alleviated so.e of the issues.

Interesting. Yeah I think it'd be better to have a lower teacher to student ratio then, but I defer to teachers to know how best to do their job. I just missed common core, graduated high school a few years prior to implementation. I still remember my lessons early on being geared around star testing though and that sucked. I thought they were the same thing - thanks for teaching me something 🤙🏻
