Our educational system has been under attack for several years. Our children’s scores reflect it. Instead of focusing on the fundamentals to help our children succeed, we have allowed them to become pawns in a politically charged arena. While we focus on culture, racism, gender identity, etc, other countries focus on math, science, technology. Where will our children’s place be in the future? The course of our schools’ curriculum needs to change now. Get politics out of the schools and let them learn what will benefit them when they will be the ones running our country!
