Robert Cox+FollowGen Z Didn’t Fail School—School Failed ThemTurns out Gen Z wasn’t the problem in America’s schools—the system was. Test scores tanked, chronic absenteeism soared, and nearly half of students said they didn’t even know why they were there. Add in phone distractions, a mental health crisis, and teacher shortages, and you’ve got a recipe for a generation feeling unprepared and skeptical about the future. Schools stayed stuck in the past while the world changed around them. Wild, right? #Education #GenZ #EducationCrisis70Share
Benjamin Contreras+FollowKids Struggling With Basic Skills?!A Dallas teacher went viral after revealing only 2 out of her 110 eighth-graders read at grade level—most are reading like 2nd graders or even kindergarteners! She says they can’t follow multi-step instructions or connect cause and effect. And it’s not just her school—nationwide stats show 70% of teens aren’t proficient in reading. Some blame tech and social media, with Australia even banning under-16s from major platforms. Would a US ban help, or is it too late? #Education #EducationCrisis #GenZ01Share
Michelle Arnold+FollowSchool Spending Up, Scores Down—What Gives?Public schools are spending more money than ever—nearly $1 trillion a year—but test scores are still dropping and fewer kids are enrolling. Even in big-spending states like New York and California, student achievement is slipping, especially in reading and math. Meanwhile, teacher salaries are at record highs, but the achievement gap keeps growing. Are we really getting what we pay for in education? #Education #EducationCrisis #SchoolSpending00Share
kedwards+Follow15 Non-English Speakers Added to My Kid's Class. Education is Dead.My daughter's public school class filled up with 15 new, Spanish-speaking kids in two weeks. The teacher is spending half the day translating and managing basic communication. My daughter's (and other local students') learning has completely stalled. I pay huge property taxes for quality education, not to fund a runaway migrant crisis. #EducationCrisis #ImmigrationImpact #PublicSchools #Taxpayers7036Share
Jorge Figueroa+FollowDallas teacher’s warning: Kids can’t readA Dallas 8th-grade teacher just revealed something that’s honestly shocking—most of her students can barely read or reason at a basic level. Out of more than 100 kids, only two are reading at grade level, while the rest are years behind. It’s not just about reading, either. Many can’t follow simple instructions, connect ideas, or answer questions about what they just wrote down. Phones and education policies are getting a lot of blame, but this feels bigger. If this is happening in Dallas, is it happening everywhere? What do you think is behind this, and how do we fix it? #Education #Dallas #EducationCrisis10Share
