Is it true on what teachers on Tik Tok are saying?
old.reddit.com
There have been stitches and stitches of TikTok’s of teachers saying that middle school students or even high schoolers are still at kindergarten...

Obligatory Sold a Story podcast link.

I can't help but feel that a lot of this is deliberate, the end result of decades of dismantling the public education system to further divide kids into the upper class in private schools, religious fundamentalists in home schooling, and everyone else abandoned to keep the population uneducated and in worse economic precarity.

Somebody please tell me that the kids are alright yea

      Just the same old lack of class analysis. Quick to blame parents for failing their kids without stopping to ask why they aren’t teaching their kids to read.

      1. they themselves are illiterate
      2. too much time spent working for too little pay just to provide basic necessities
      3. lack of support structures to help ease the burdens of child rearing
