Reading is FUNdamental.

And the viral nature of illiteracy.

Recently a video made it viral. This video was about a few teachers discussing how children do not perform academically at grade level.

So now that we are paying attention, we knew this. If you were paying attention throughout COVID at all, you knew this. We knew that schools were prioritizing ideology over academics. We saw our kids struggle through two years of “distanced learning”. We watched as the school boards deflected questions about poor outcomes. We watched test scores dwindle nationwide, even in the best of districts. We watched as behavior in the classroom became disregarded in the name of “social justice.”

Why did this video suddenly go viral? Did we need teachers to really say it? Are parents dysphoric about the state of their children’s education?

Or, are parents so caught up in the conveniences of Public Education that they have become willingly blind to the woeful state of academics within the system?

The system has no incentive to change as long as kids attend these schools, thereby funding them. Parents have to take their kids out of the system in order to force change. We, as parents, need to take personal responsibility for our own child’s academic success. We need to homeschool. We need to accept the fact that things in Public Education have to get worse before they get better, and unless you want your child to be collateral damage, take responsibility and homeschool.

I am not trying to be mean, or crass. I am trying to push the point that homeschooling is the last hope for our children’s minds and education. I see a general lack of parental engagement in Public Education.

A lot of parents are not going to come to the defense of their own child’s education, and definitely won’t be concerned with yours. The sooner we realize this and pull our kids out, the better.
