    they can make changes to their curriculum, but if they can’t pass the standardized tests, they risk losing funding (or having the feds come in to run the school). so, most teach largely to the lowest common denominator.

    Yup pretty bad. Once again, this explains my reasoning in the OP.

    Thank you!

      Oh, for sure. Those of us that can think for ourselves here have been going nuts for decades!

      We’re also very sorry for the damage done by our fellow citizens and leaders.
