Why is education falling behind?

[IronFist]

Why is education falling behind in America? Test scores are dropping, some kids can't solve even the easiest math problems. What's the explanation for it? Common core, mass culture, video games or it's just because children don't want to study? I believe the answer lies in our culture as it doesn't endorse intellectualism anymore. It became way too entertainment and sex-oriented. How will we compete with other countries in future if our children have no will to study?

Because homeschooling is legal.

But homeschooling is the best option we have now. At least it doesn't require kids to learn about liberal worldview. If you want your kid to really learn things then homeschooling is the best choice.

I think it's an eternal problem, and the problem is not in teachers, not in their salaries but in children and their will to go to school and be taught. Plus, too many honeypots children have all around in our days.

Homeschooling today is an absurd, social education is necessary to grow up as this-society person.

Well, homeschooling works and children may socialize somewhere else outside of the school. Schools are definitely better for socialization but I don't want my children to be brainwashed by gender studies courses.
