It is with the 3 R’s that the problem initially started. It is not just enough to say we need to get back to the 3 R’s. For example, the first R - Reading - the content of the books students read often mold their minds for later in life. Books we used to read in schools have been banned from these same schools. Take the book from Hemmingway, “of Mice and Men” a book long banned by schools as reading material. Remember higher education schools wanting to get rid of Shakespeare? Books that presented right from wrong and true morals have been replaced by the likes of the 1619 Project which institute false history. Or the current fad of race-pimpers that want to instill “diversity” into the classroom.

Schooling starts with being able to read and to write. Followed by mathematics which not only teaches the basics of adding and subtraction but logic, induction and inference. But none of the of this is possible without being able to read and write. It’s just that what is read is the most common cause for the issue students face today.
