  2. Sounds like the schools and teachers are not providing the services they are being paid for.

  3. That’s why we should defund the department of education or better yet destroy it /s

  5. Definitely noticed this when biden was in office. He was having a hard time reading the teleprompters, that told him what to say.

    At least he could pronounce “chocolate, chocolate chip” correctly! 🍦

  6. Well, so much for “Deep Seek” causing a “Sputnik Moment”.

    American schools suck because they are not funded, not because the Department of Education is incompetent.

    The Oligarchy does not want an educated public. That’s why the push to support anything but Public Schools.

    Why you guys fall for the MSM propaganda is beyond my understanding. But you keep falling for it in just about every political or economic or education area. It is really disheartening.
