Reddit has sent us a silly letter. We shall neither print it, nor reply.
Have you looked at literacy stats in the US lately? Something like 20% of adults have low or no reading ability. Only 12% of adults have a high ability.
And Common Core has made this significantly worse. Kids in schools using the modules (different from the standards) come into 3rd grade having been taught to read through rote memorization and at that point the curriculum switches from “learn to read” to “read to learn” and they stop getting the same level of formal English instruction. Comprehension skills are in the fucking toilet and the assessments they recommend for tier 3 intervention in my district aren’t even wholistic enough to assess comprehension.
We sold our education system to text book corporations and it almost immediately failed the kids that started school as their system was being implemented. American schooling will be privatized within my lifetime. Hope the kids like working in the factories because their parents can’t afford high school like the rich kids. (Scholarships are, of course, available as long as you’re conventionally intelligent and fRom A gOoD FAmIlY)
Everyone but the people who sell common core text books hates common core.
Yeah but chuds hate it because their death cult has stuffed their heads with pro-privatization rhetoric. I like the common core standards. But the modules are an active harm to children. It’s like they were written by people whose idea of teaching comes from watching teenage sitcoms.

they are children, of course they are stupid
- If they just said “state-capitalist” they’d technically be right and they wouldn’t know the difference
- Wow I had no idea. If a country isn’t a utopia you can’t support it.
- lmao
- lmao
That is all
I see China’s standard of living and world power doing nothing but increasing in the coming years.
Soon no matter how they spin it, it will be obviously superior while the west flails about trying to cope and propagandize itself into saying “things are actually better here”.
“Cuba isn’t a utopia” well of course the island nation that faces ton of economic sanctions from the US isnt perfect.
And yet Cuba is still able to have higher average life expetancy than the USA.
