Education in 2025: New Rules

I am baffled by the overwhelming amount of information that humans have at their fingertips and how so many people remain ignorant about basic life skills. Many educators are leaving the profession because the system is broken, stressful and filled with oblivious, pretentious, dimwitted, simpletons. It is unfortunate for students who suffer in the chaotic environment. People had a small glimpse into the life of educators during COVID. Initially, parents expressed admiration for teachers, but this was short lived as parents grew weary. America does not place a high value on education. State governments are enacting new policies to create barriers to acquiring educational funding, and local communities are divided politically and economically. Student performance in reading, writing and math are also on a decline. The community must become a refuge for students and families by championing the cause of  foundational learning which includes: literacy, life skills, and citizenship training. A recent Forbes article entitled, The Growing Discontent With American Education highlights some of the concerns people have with our current education system.
