Why Are Students' Reading Levels Grades Behind?
Because the Education system is not meant to Educate, it's meant to create low paid workers.
If it was meant to educate, we would be taught about taxes, mortgages, etc.
Education system is about teaching them gender nowadays
Is that why the USA is #9 in the world in reading?
This rings so true!
Thank you sir or madam
There is alot of blame to go around I suggest if people can they should volunteer at a local school. The teachers are overworked and criminally under paid but are expected to do it all and that's absurd
My kids are in their 30s now but when they were little I had the honor of being a stay at home mom and I volunteered from pre school thru high school. If you think it's important volunteer...♡
They are not underpaid. Do some research.
@johnmac4261 I have, several years ago while trying to get the school district to pay for a second teacher for our program starting pay in our district was just over 19,000
Ppor in our district at the time was 4400.00.
you get what you're paid for@@connieleighton4375
So much truth!! I teach math. They can do the math, but can’t answer the math word problems on state tests because they don’t comprehend what they are reading.
I teach English. Those math word problems are so poorly written that, when I proctor those tests, I have to fix the grammar.
Another thing is how some states are allowing kids with failing grades to go on to another grade . A student who barely knows how to read or write shouldnt move up
The teachers fail them, and the administration passes them on.
Parents take neck control over the child's learning read to them from birth. Have them read to you.
Take away iPads.
Talk to your children.
Because people are banning and burning books
No they aren't.
sure, groomer
I am a teacher in Canada. Each group of students I teach is weaker than the ones before. This began pre-COVID. I am certain it is related to screen time.
I blame parents. I was reading from a very young age. Even today I read on my phone more than I do anything else on it.
ngl although it does depend, for the most part i second this
1st: Its Parent 2nd: No blame on the system? 3rd: Every school system failure is the parents fault when its a nationwide epidemic? What the common thread and start there.......
@@seanmccartney5177
I think you need some education, your comment in nonsensical with poor grammar.
Wouw, im pretty sure they paid schools to teach their kids these kind of things.
Atleast they learn all the useless things in life at school.
Same. My mom worked as a sub teacher all of my life and she bought a lot of stuff from teachers stores when she saw what students were using to learn. She also made it rain when the scholastic book fair came to town 💰😜
How can you be 10 years old and not know the alphabet?! Knowing the alphabet was one of the requirements to move up to kindergarten from preschool.
They just let kids pass regardless now
@sweetboots8274 to be clear: the teachers did not pass them, the administrators moved them to the next grade.
It's up to the parents to help their children as well. The teachers can only do so much with the resources they have.
well, when we ban books kids aren't going to be able to read....
No books are banned.
@@MrEkzotic proof?
I agree
Neither can their dumda*s parents.
Wow. Stunning and brave.
There is a strong and dedicated attack on education in your country from certain "fringe groups". Religion is eulogised and the desire for knowledge is frowned upon.
Bingo! Unfortunately, it's been a bipartisan attack for decades.
And by "fringe-groups" I assume you are talking about the washington and corporate elite. Who have all the insensitive to keep the masses illiterate, vulnerable and gullable.
Then parents want to look at me like im crazy when i have all these restrictions on what they see as "normal" behavior with our todler. In case yall didnt notice "normal" isnt shaping up for a lot of people, young and old.
A major thing was that an entire generation of kids were raised without phonetics
Wrong. Students who are deaf can read just fine without phonics since, you know, they're deaf.
Why does society want our children to grow up so fast?
When i was in grade 1 or 2, i was told i wasn't allowed to read my books anymore because i wasn't playing with the other kids enough. So it could be that schools don't actually care about education.
My homeschooled children read and are in math courses several grades beyond their respective ages. Their achievements are not unusual for homeschoolers; we also live in a rural area. I basically taught them from 125 year old primers. Looking to politicians and extra funding is not your answer.
I highly doubt your homeschool kids are ahead of the standards unless you live in rural Indiana, or you happen to have a Masters in childhood education. I also question the ability of your children to adapt to social environments. Most states don't even require yearly standardized testing requirements. Florida being one example.
@@Nexven Why do you doubt it? And why do you think one needs a Master's degree to effectively homeschool one's own children? Further, you don't know how this person socializes his/her children. I would suggest asking questions before making assumptions; you're demonstrating significant bias.
@Nexven I feel badly that public schools are failing children. All of the hand-wringing and digital ink being spilled on the subject of public ed failures is enough to confirm me in my choice, and it appears that the standards are being written but not met. I'm also not overly impressed w the socialization schools offer. I hope for the sake of our nation, public ed can turn itself around since so many depend on it. I read from one educator that schools have declined since the 1950s when achievement was much higher.
@@intheschoolofgodandnature Yes. The quality of public education has declined precipitously. Look up the 1912 US 8th grade final exam...many college educated people have problems answering many of those questions.
I'm not sure why the person who responded to you made so many assumptions and seemed to have discounted your capacity to effectively educate your own children. Did social media create this bitterness between those who have different opinions, or did it just broadcast already existing bitterness?
@MrEkzotic You are correct I am being biased and it seemingly could be based on what may be considered baseless claims, but there is truth lying in the % of homeschooling children making up the population of post secondary education. Per the Department of Education, statisically they make up less than 1% of incoming freshman, and why do you quantify some sort of qualifying degree is required of teachers and professors if they legally want to teach in the United States? Asking questions of homeschooling groups only leads to confirmation bias, and this is per my experience as there is a large number of homeschooling groups in my state.
Write a story about the actual test scores since say 1971. Just talk about the facts. Just talk about the scores.
No editorials, no make believe, just the scores.
Spend a few paragraphs on 2012.
Do something simple like: set current scores next to the 1971 scores.
Or are you cowards?

Covid set everyone back a year or 2.
All that time parents were home with their kids and they couldn't pick up a book and read? Lol.
@@aaronsmith1676Yeah, this.
@aaronsmith1676 If both parents work they did not tutor their kids , what country do you live in where a parent can stay home?
Wow if you got to stay home that must have been nice. Someday when you have children of your own I hope you have the support you need.
@@fity_4696 parents work 24/7? Wow I live in the Philippines and even here parents who may work 12 hour days 7 days a week get to go home at the end of it. You are right. I must be completely out of touch.
Because look at those teachers. That’s why.
Explain.
It's almost like were becoming a third world country....
I wonder why...
Almost all teachers vote a certain direction. Most people that go over what kids should be given in schools vote a certain way.
They have pushed things that don't matter matter. Left behind the things that do.
"You no longer learn how to think in schools, you learn what to think in schools."
Teachers unions refused to go back to school in fears of “safety”
The best educational systems in the world have unions. The stronger the unions, the better the education.
You're full of 💩.
Because we are busy teaching them about gender
Good to see the Democrat soaked, labor union run education system is doing so well.
As opposed to what? The Republican idea of teaching conformity to Associationanlism or "Trickle down economics"? Correct me if I'm wrong but what party originally led to the Great Depression and continues to push the idea that tax breaks for the rich will benefit the poor. You might need to crack open a history book.
Also need I mention the reason why American Labor Unions were formed in the first place? Does Haymarket Riot ring a bell? Child labor laws or safe working environments? Fair wage?
I see you're another genius from a failed homeschool education.
you lack all critical thinking skills. Tells me you're a triggered democrat @@-Subtle-
Maybe they should promote learning instead of identity politics.
They've learned how to spell LGBTQ instead of ABC's
BECAUSE THERE ARE NO NEWSPAPERS, BOOKS OR INTELLIGENT TEACHING CURRICULUMS/PRACTICES ALLOWED IN SCHOOLS ANYMORE 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Nonsense. All public school curricula are free to view online.
You don't know the problems. You probably shouldn't talk about it as if you do.
What are the problems?
Toxic, unqualified administration that undermines the teachers in their buildings by: moving kids who failed to the next grade, refusing to discipline children, being buddy buddy with students.
