Teachers throughout the US have been sounding the alarm for years about the lack of reading, math and comprehension skills in their students. There are teachers complaining that their administrators won't allow them to grade on things like: turning the homework in on time, creativity, originality, attention to detail. The student puts in little to no effort is being given the same grade as those that put effort into their assignments. Certainly not all, but many students are unable to read at grade level, if at all. They also cannot comprehend basic ideas. Many of the students parents are even complaining that their children don't need all that reading, all that homework. Is it any wonder that so many can only parrot what they are told and get angry when pressed to explain their opinions? A person on TV or their teacher told them something so it must be true!! Democrats understand this better than anyone. They aren't clever, but they are cunning. They control curriculum. They tell the students it's okay to skip learning to protest for democratic causes. What better way to force future voters to rely on the government than to help them to not succeed? When learning is not promoted, society fails.
