As a Christian teacher in public school I can tell you with 100 percent certainty that the failure of public schools to educate our youth lies completely at the feet of cultural and moral decline as well as lack of strong parental support, not a failure of schools and teachers. Public schools are also forced to design their instruction to the lowest common denominator because schools educate EVERYONE from bottom to top. Student absenteeism is also a HUGE reason educational outcomes are poor and schools cannot force kids to come to school. Students are addicted to technology because parents get them cell phones with free access to pornography and social media at an extremely young age. Our culture is destroying our youth.
