Enjoying your articles Greg. Well written and extremely thought provoking! Your commentary and those like it are extremely important and it’s my hope you continue to share these thoughts for a long time to come! We need more smart young people willing to become engaged and to share their thoughts! Well done!!!
Darkness is the enemy of Freedom. While light may burn, it also illuminates. While the knowledge gap and lack of fundamental background info may have an impact on reading comprehension, it feels like something more. On one hand I see communities more segregated and siloed than I ever have before and on the other hand, I’ve never seen easier and cheaper access to wide information. I’m always suspicious of finger pointing but for “some reason” it seems people are making other choices which is negatively impacting the goals and progress made. It’s easy to blame. People don’t like to look in the mirror for it may illuminate.
You’re right that people don’t blame themselves for things that they should blame themselves for. That comes before they step foot in a school. But I think that schools are responsible for educating in the most effective way possible so that kids feel less inclined to misbehave so much. It wouldn’t change things a ton, but it could help a little.
