If you are a well-educated person with good self-control in today’s America, you can really get ahead. There just isn’t much competition.

A surprising number of millennials are moving up rapidly in their careers. They have figured it out.

We ostracize the smart kids and coddle the dumb ones.

We now have middle schoolers identifying as trans. Adolescents have been seeking attention since forever, but our culture now teaches them the best way to get attention is to be a victim. Should the student be so unfortunate as to be born affluent, white, and male he can simply claim to be trans and receive an outpouring of sympathy he would be unable to obtain otherwise. Remember the good old days when kids got attention for academic or athletic achievement?

That's just great. I have never needed any of the BS from CRT. Never. However, I read, write, and do math (even algebra) Every. Single. Day.

Of course that's what the leftists want, a bunch of ignorant, indoctrinated drones that they can easily manipulate.

The teachers unions are doing to the el/hi education system that universities have done. They’ve become centers of propaganda for the left in order to dumb the students down and make them more dependent on the government. Teaching STEM is not as important as teaching CRT.

Hallmark cards are edgier, more original, and intuitively truer than the monolithic minds of America’s young, and those who’ve raised and taught them.

“Monolitic minds” is the perfect descriptor. Much like the Irish Potato famine was in part caused by reliance on a single variety of potato, which once infected spread and destroyed all the potato crops; a monolithic mind culture is subject to being destroyed by an event outside its boundary of response.

We really do need the “crazies”, the people who “think different” (remember that Apple ad from back in the 90’s) to be the alarm bells of danger to which the masses are blind; to be the discoverers of new things following an unconventional path. Without them, society is dead; first spiritually dead, then intellectually dead, and finally physically dead.

“Yet conservatives have kept insisting, throughout the Covid lockdowns and quarantines, that kids were missing out on an education because they were out of school.”

Yeah, but they have done little to nothing to stop the plandemic.

The Economist article referenced comes from 2016 and has no links to the studies it refers to. I will continue to look.
I am also highly skeptical about the quality of Grade School education in the US and see the revamping of curricula as a deckchair exercise.
I have a simpler explanation: If the math proficiency of the teachers is low - as it generally is based on SAT scores of Education Majors - why would we be surprised at the subsequent outcomes. To add to Economist author’s story line, if the swimming coach cannot swim, are you sure you want to have him or her teach your kids?
