Rats would rather dumb down our young people than give parents school choice which of course hurts teachers unions. It's only
one of the cruelest aspects of being a democrat but it's a big one.
Parents who put their kinds in Catholic schools were brilliant. Long term? Anyone who puts any faith in a public school education and does not demand change has rocks in their head.

In case you missed it, American education is in free-fall. The National Center for Education Statistics released the first national test scores for fourth- and eighth-graders since before the pandemic, and the news is somehow worse than we could have imagined, with catastrophic learning loss, the largest declines ever recorded and decades of progress wiped out.
But in America’s Catholic schools, the failure and free-fall simply did not happen. In fact, in both math and reading, Catholic scores stayed the same or improved in areas where public schools dramatically declined.
For instance, Catholic students in 8th grade saw a one-point average increase in their reading scores, compared to the three-point drop for public school 8th graders. Scores for 4th-grade math stayed the same for Catholic schools but dropped five points for public schoolers in the same grade.
