Why is this such a problem? Why are today's youth unable to read or do math at grade level? I know Covid caused a setback, but this was going on prior, and continues after.
As of May 7, 2024, U.S. News and World Report, Florida is ranked #1 in the nation for education. The ranking is based on a combination of strong performance in higher education and K-12 metrics.
As a retired educator, I’m interested to know how educators/schools are preparing their students for the real world. In other words, are students ready to use their potential to make the world a better place? Are students giving back more than they’re taking from the government? Also, are students sharing their talents in a kind and supportive way? Education to prepare you for life is so much more than test scores.
