We sent our 4 to parochial schools. The oldest two went through HS graduation with no issues other than the "normal" teenage BS. Incredibly well balanced young adults. The younger two were pulled out at 13 and 10, respectively, due to a complete drop in values and enforcement of expectations. Home schooled them through their GED's. Both are now quite accomplished young adults with, what we feel, is a great appreciation for the way they want to be successful in their lives, versus what they're seeing in many of their peers. It's not just public education that's failing our youngsters.
It seems teachers colleges produced for several generations propagandists rather then curriculum pedagogues. No wonder that teachers union is a bastion of left wing excesses.
Colleges that award teaching diplomas must be reformed from activists factories into real teachers prep institution first and foremost.
Also changing badly skewed Females (78%) to males ratio (4:1) between teachers needs to be corrected - hiring male veterans might be first step there.
Scary accurate - I see this in its current form, with my child’s social studies teachers instructing 8th graders ideology instead of curriculum.
I also see it in people fresh out of high school or college who are so out of their depths just with simple tasks, but can certainly explain to you why we need DEI.

I teach Personal Finance in high school. It's only a semester but at least some basic financial concepts are introduced.

Not an accident.
It’s a real problem.
This is a real problem.
It’s not an education system: it’s a life support system for teachers’ unions.
Not just in the USA either, it’s a problem all over the western world. Here in the UK it’s the same. Dumbing down of society.
