Don't blame the schools, the teachers, or the kids. Blame the test and textbook publishers that are making a fortune off of our educational system.

State and federal governments are the ones that should be held accountable. Let's start giving them the test.

If we "flooded poor schools with art, music, librarians, social workers, counselors, play, and project-based learning" you'd see test scores soar. And have happier and more enthusiastic students, too. @readdoctor.bsky.social
