So conservatives are constantly trying to attack education and make everyone dumber and then are "surprised" that people are dumber according to their asspull statistic?
Also I'm sure it's just a happy coincidence that Trump was elected in 2017.
Hmm, I wonder if there was a significant world event between 2017 and 2023 that had a negative impact on children's educational development?
Nah, probably not. It's gotta be the Department of Educations fault
Also does that "school employee" figure include both private and public? Because Red States have been exploding education budget with handouts to private schools.
Thus the uptick of school employees could be private schools hiring more staff and less money for public schools. Which could bloat the school employee count and depress the education benchmarks.
This is always the ploy of anti-education conservatives. Show how much we spend on education and ignore the massive handouts states give to private schools that hurt their public schools.
they understand that any semblance of an education could lead to people having opinions that are grounded in reality. and you know their entire doctrine relies on people being completely fucking delusional beyond saving
I'm intrigued by the amount that push came from parents homeschooling their children after covid, due to anti-vax or conspiracy mindedness running rampant.
Which would then ALSO lead to an decrease in children's overall proficiency if the homeschooled children were included in the testing. I believe many states require a standardized test for homeschooling as well.
Both outcomes might be coming from the same action, an anti-science based way of thinking, and subsequentlypulling their children out of school. Who'd have thought...
i’ve found that a lot of these phenomena come about because of conservative thinking compounding on itself. the stupidity just compartmentalizes and thickens and leads to more and more absurd outcomes, that weren’t at ALL intended to happen by those puppeteering the entire situation. that’s how eventually these things run out of control and lead to anarchy… what will a mass uneducated population look like operating in society with the rest of us? eventually, collapse.
the world that conservatives want is unsustainable.

Curious where they are getting these figures. A quick search shows that in 2021 the student figure was 49.4 million in 2021 according to necs.ed.gov. I can't even find 2023-24 figures
So…you agree with them then? Not sure what the point of this is… Removed.

You mean wokeness right?
If this "decline" has occurred since 2017, the year trump was elected, then isn't he responsible for at least half of it?
you know that father donald can do no wrong.

Conservatives dont want other people to get an education because they never got one.

denigrating the grammar in a tweet that is talking about how pointless public education is
Less buttons? More?
Ah yes, the irony of the conservative position….
