the push for standardized testing, and emphasizing workforce preparation. Shaping kids into people who can fit into society instead of enabling kids to be the best version of themselves. Conservative education policy in general does this shit.

Reading into the history of GW Bush education reforms would help with this. As well as the history of segregation and how it was a core factor in the development of private schools as an obsession of the american right-wing

    Actually I am not in the USA. But it is the same in other developed countries too! Makes me think it's a bit deliberate?

    Fair enough, probably something to do with anti-education political forces having enough time to consolidate after the WW2 welfare state consensus, and enough time for the policies they enact to be fully felt.

    Also phone bad probably
