SIR – this didn’t just happen – we have been questioning this since the 1980’s. The answer has always been the same. A educational official’s reply – I can’t speak out because I would be fired and lose my retirement – which is true.
So, this is now the result as you speak.
How do we change this problem at this time? Our children have been dumbed down. The only ones saved were the students who went to private schools and received the “real” education and those who didn’t are the ones you are speaking about.
It is the teachers’ union that needs to be neutered – rendered ineffective and deprived of its force.
Plain and simple!

Author and former psychology professor Jordan Peterson said it is no surprise that today’s youth lack motivation because the education system is “designed to do nothing more than demoralize” them.
“If you set up an education system that’s designed to do nothing more than demoralize young people and to convince them that their ambition is dangerous, and even world-threatening for that matter — a manifestation of patriarchal oppression on the social front and then a danger to the survival of the planet on the natural front,” Peterson told One Nation with Brian Kilmeade. “And you don’t do anything to foster that ambition and to channel it into a manner that might be productive, and to tell young people why their ambition might be useful, then you’re going to get exactly that.”
Peterson blasted the established standard for training teachers, saying it has a “hammerlock” on perpetuating the production of ill-prepared and “woke” educators.

Jordan Peterson: Teach ‘visionary discipline’ to motivate young peopleUnmute
“You have to be trained in a faculty of education to become a teacher. Why?” Peterson said, bucking the idea. “They’re the most woke element of the entire rotten university carcass, and they have the hammerlock on 50% of the state budget.
“You know, conservatives are always complaining about the culture war,” Peterson continued. “Well, you handed all the young people to the faculties of education, right? Their research is terrible – it’s low-rate. Their students are generally very incompetent, comparatively speaking, on the academic front. It’s foolish, and this is the outcome. It’s not surprising.”
Peterson said his research has shown that the education system needs to help students have “visionary discipline” and direction for their future.
“That’s all you have to do if you want to motivate young people is to teach them a bit of visionary discipline and encourage it,” Peterson noted. “We do the opposite of that, plus we terrify them, trigger warnings. We tell them everything is dangerous.”
The psychologist said his studies on a program called “Future Authoring” have shown that when young people have a vision for their future and a sense of direction in life, their dropout rate was lowered by 50%, and their grade point average was raised by 35%.

The Democrats want more people to be stupid. Then they will have more slaves to work in their camps since they are not competent to perform real work.
Even Nancy Pelosi stated – the Americans are the most stupid on earth. With that kind of attitude – it tells the whole story.
