Sadly technology is winning. I recently talked to a soon to be new high school teacher - as I was once a high school teacher (for 10 years) many, many years ago; I was interested to find out what school was like now. This young women (majoring in English and Social Studies) only a few years older then her students - found students could no longer write - because of texting and Covid. They ( the students) no longer knew how to use capitals, or punctuation. Sentence structure was gone, and abbreviations were the norm, LOL, GTFO, WTF etc. None, not a one reads a regular book anymore, they all use their Smart Phones, chat-GPT, or some other AI reading / writing tool(s). There knowledge comes from You Tube blogs, TikTok, or simply whatever they are told. Incomplete, biased. outright lies, or just plain wrong - it doesn't matter - whatever lie gets out there quicker wins!! And MSM and Governments knows that - and use it!!! When a country spends Trillions on armies and it's ability to kill humanity better and control the world - you know where it's priorities are. Smart, enlightened, educated people, simply don't make good cannon fodder, but the poor and uneducated sure do. Canada (very poorly lead at the moment) has one of the most highly educated populations on the earth - more degrees per capita then most other nations - we don't get into Wars unless it's being in a dumb ass organization called NATO (run primarily by the US).
We televised our dead soldiers coming home from Afghanistan. We don't like killing our citizens usually - the US - well that's another question. So don't expect your education system to get much better anytime soon.
Another "nail in the coffin" for the once great US.......well done Sherrie!
