Our nation’s competitors and adversaries have been pleased with the collapse in US educational competence since “the virus” consumed US society.
Not only did we let the ‘teachers unions’ destroy teaching & learning during the pandemic, but it has not been restored since!
In stark contrast are the religious-based schools that continued teaching during the pandemic with minimal medical issues and significant academic success.
At last, the teachers ‘who care’ are raising the teaching-learning issues impacting our students and our schools. If California can come out of the closet, so hopefully, can all our other schools. Hopefully better late than never.
