Millions of kids are missing weeks of school as attendance tanks across the US
School attendance has hit record lows since the pandemic. More than a quarter of kids were chronically absent in the 2021-22 school year.
You're viewing a single thread.
They started treating schools like prisons after columbine. Taking away bookbags. Treating students like criminals. Having rent-a-cop harass kids. Not to mention shooter training and underpaid teachers. And also this war on woke BS with book bans and continual changes to the educational material so kids are learning about atrocities from one source while their history book glosses over it.
So yeah schools aren't in a good place right now.

That is 100% what it is.
Republicans don't get elected when the constituents are educated. So instead of changing their platform to align with educated opinions, they decided to dumb down the population.
They've been doing it for decades and it's finally all coming to a head.
I'm a teacher and don't see public schooling lasting more than 5 years.
There's a new rule at my daughter's middle school this year that children are not allowed to go to extracurricular activities (aside from sports for some reason) unless accompanied by a parent. What the fuck?
