    For starters, recognizing that most of the problems our students face cannot be solved by schools, no matter how much money we throw at them? We need our entire society to change. As a teacher, there is literally nothing I can do about the poverty, racism, access to Healthcare, or other sources of inequality outside the school. Society as a whole needs to change first.

      Agreed! The push for more social commentary and pushing social ideologies as the ‘savior’ of our students is absurd.

      All of these metrics have gotten better over the last 60 years, yet our education system is falling being, how are these to blame?

        I love how you truncated my quote so you ignored “other sources of inequality.” Because even if the other things had been fixed (“getting better” doesn’t mean fixed), there’s still nothing I can do to solve the social and economic inequality facing my students.

          other sources of inequality

          That’s just saying ‘etc.’ so how am I supposed to ask about ‘etc.’? You’re just avoiding answering my questions for you. Can you not back up your statements?

            Again, you’re picking and choosing what I wrote and ignoring the rest. When you’ve had a chance to work on your reading comprehension, please let me know.

              Okay, let me rephrase my entire first comment then to add the much needed value you desire:

              All of these metrics have gotten better over the last 60 years, yet our education system is falling being, how are these to blame?

              Are you gonna answer now, or are you just gonna keep beating around the bush because you’re wrong?
