Stupid and/or ignorant works best for the DEMs.

Surprise, surprise, surprise! Unexpected! Utterly unpredictable. A related aside. The article quotes teacher McHenney: “I am supposed to start sixth-grade teaching how to divide fractions. At the beginning of this year, in many cases, I had to go over addition and subtraction with these kids. That’s a third-grade skill.”
That's nothing. My sister teaches math mostly to middle school kids at a "magnet" school in downtown Baltimore. She occasionally teaches the high school seniors. If you ask one of them to divide one-half by two, they are utterly and completely befuddled. These are kids who are going to be graduating with high school degrees and most are headed to college!
If she gives them this, their heads explode...

I think listening to what passes for music these days is also an influence.

just one tiny element of why the "COVID 19" planned "pandemic" reaction was the biggest mistake in human history, now people are conditioned to accept idiotic pandemic responses and this was not even a real pandemic, it was merely a political experiment, an extortion racket by Big Pharma
Everyone fell for it and continue to faithfully believe to this day
real cold virus
fake Pandemic

“Often, children sit next to each other watching videos on their tablets rather than interacting with each other, she said.”
Take the tablets away. Duh.

That's not that bad, over 75% of the High School Graduates in Los Angeles Unified can't perform basic math above the 3rd grade level.

Its not just the "Dems" Trump fell for it too, and it was a worldwide extortion racket
that whole "dem vs repub" thing is just a trick to keep us fighting and blaming each other instead of THEM ( the perps)

I think we lost a generation. Or maybe two.

COVID-19 restrictions have damaged children developmentally in ways that might be irreparable, teachers say.I seem to recall teachers and teacher unions wanting shutdowns, masking, plexiglass barriers, social distancing and constant testing. Let’s make it very clear. Teacher have no credibility. We know the type of people they are. We went to high school and college with them. They are not highly intelligent. They are not well educated. Most are leftists and many are illiterate.
Teachers and government schools have failed. They are getting worse. American schools were ranked in the top of all nations in the early 70’s and before. Our schools are struggling to be in the top 25 today. That’s failure. That is teachers failing. That’s teacher unions failing. That’s government failing.
Teachers: STFU. You are the problem. You are not the solution. I bet teachers feel zero remorse for the development problems that they caused in our children. Your pay is going to be cut. Your benefits slashed. And many of you will be working in fast food. We are coming for you.

Believe it or not, I remember when it was shameful to be dumb, and this was in the "inner city community". You were routinely called the "dumbass" if you couldn't add a column of numbers.
That seemed to have turned during the mid to late 70's, when dumbassery was held up as something to strive for.

Nah, we’re in great shape. We went from #1 in math and sciences worldwide a few decades ago to #48 (or so). Everything is fine.

That’s when being smart was made the equivalent of “acting white” or “acting like the man.”

The bar for teachers is pretty low these days. The ability to push liberal dogma is about all it takes.

Covid 19 and our government reaction should be the textbook example of why government trying to run everything is a bad idea.
Instead, government is still trying to sell to the masses some idea that they saved us from an apocalypse.

The bar was low over 40 years ago when I went to college.

At least all those students got participation trophies to make them feel good.
