As a teacher for 26 years, I've seen how we dumbed down education - and how kids suffer
Briefly

"Teachers in past decades have been faced with two choices: educating students with challenging material and frequent grading or engaging them with fun projects and participation grades."
"Our students suffer from a pathology of low expectations for themselves and especially for their teachers... Their expectations of ease don't come from nowhere."
"Instead of classrooms powered by lectures, student note-taking, robust discussions and frequent exams... we teachers are often encouraged to 'meet students where they are.'"
"Assignments are far from academically grueling - group work, making posters, 'class time' for longer projects. And we wonder why 58% of instructors note their students have 'little to no interest.'"
