I have teaching licenses, but I first received them in 1982. Yes, I am 65 and now retired. But, I am not blind or stupid and 3 years ago when I retired, I had witnessed for years the demise of the educational system. However, teachers have no control over what happens in schools. We have bosses and rules that we have to follow. New "cuuriculum" is introduced and we have to teach it. There are also things we are told we can't teach. The system needs to return to indiviual desks (not table with 4 seats), textbooks, paper, pencils, library books and book reports, and most importantly geography, history, and government. Students no longer need to pass a "constitution" test to graduate - when that went away, so did government study.
I have wondered about Elon Musk. He took the Constitution class in order to become an American citizen, he and other immigrants are learning the Constitution, but our own citizens are not. Maybe that is why Elon and most other immigrants are MAGA.

I appreciate your honesty. Many teachers today are denying there is a problem and hiding things from the parents.
