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

    With poor literacy it’s very easy to internalize propaganda because you lack the critical thinking skills and broader knowledge base that enhanced literacy provides you.

    Sure. But even advanced literacy won't save you from an abundance of misinformation. Just ask Thomas Aquinas or Emmanuel Kant.

    You can have an extremely well researched and erudite debate over how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.
