So I am a little leery of blaming schools for things because I think it starts at the. I also, like I said, I'm very adamant that schools should do their jobs, teach our kids. And the fact that We are 41st or 43rd in the nation in terms of test scores. is a pretty strong indicator that maybe we need to focus on academics more and not the other political stuff as much.
