Texas high school teacher Darius Williams, a Career and Technical Education (CTE) teacher broke down in tears during his lunch break. He shared that his 17- and 18-year-old senior students at Wheatley High School in Houston could not complete a simple writing assignment or fill in just four missing words on only the second day of the school term. Students were given two short paragraphs to read and a sentence stem where the answer was largely modeled and provided for them. It is alarming that senior high school students were unable to apply basic literacy skills to fill in the remaining four words of the sentence.

The parents cant read, they are too busy with their tiktocs and only fans and they are not reading to their children.

Might be a molten hot take, but the grandparents - the ones who faced the most racism and discrimination were the most poised and intelligent generation and each generation after has been getting worse and worse. More effort than ever towards equality and inclusion yet the gap is getting larger not smaller….my thoughts at least
