Basic literacy profoundly affected by school shutdowns

AP article

https://www.bostonherald.com/2023/09/02/children-hit-hardest-by-the-pandemic-are-now-the-big-kids-at-school-many-still-need-reading-help/

Interesting that I was unable to find the article on the AP site.

Also interesting how the writer avoided (as much as possible) linking the shutdowns to the panic over covid-19

I have also read, and possibly posted it here, that the military is finding it tough to find recruits that can pass the written tests.
Physical tests have been a problem for years with so many obese kids, but since the Covid School shutdowns, the "graduates" can barely Read, Rite or do Rithmatic.

Government run schools are no longer a place to send your kids. Homeschooling or other alternatives are essential today. It is fucking ridiculous that it's become Marxist/Fascist Indoctrination camp. And we pay for it all, in spades. My real estate/property taxes are what my mortgage used to be.

Time for a tax revolt.

You want to see a pro Marxist Democrat’s head explode?  Call public schools “Government schools.”  They fucking freak out about such reality, and actually try to say that public doesn’t mean government.

They also freak out because they know it’s the truth.

We should eliminate the FEDERAL department of Education, like DeSantis says.

I'm all for public education, as long as parents have a choice.  But I deplore what government has done to it.

The truth to them is like a bucket of water on the Wicked Witch of the West. I'm melting....melting.....!

It is the truth. I worked for a public school system. It’s funded by government and it’s controlled by government.  They are government schools, period.

100%, and that’s what DeSantis promised to do. The feds should have zero input into education, which happens at the LOCAL level. It’s paid for by taxes charged at the state and local level. Keep it fucking local.

That is correct. It used to be long ago.

I'd love for this to happen. Second, bring a case against Public Sector Unions, including Teacher's Unions and make them illegal due to their inherent conflict of interest.

Sometimes all you have to do is sit back and wait for liberals to showcase their unending hypocrisy...

Teachers Union Pres. Who Conflated Private Education
With Facism Sends Her Son To Elite
Private Catholic School



The CTU president has been a longtime opponent of school choice policies. Davis-Gates helped spearhead an effort to end Illinois’ Invest In Kids Act, which gives 9,000 economically underprivileged children grants for private school tuition, Wirepoints noted.
