Now, most of the people making decisions come from that era, and while they figured out that Sears wasn’t taking over, they have gone on to decide everyone should fit a certain mold and all be held to the same standards.Supposedly, we are falling behind the rest of the world. It’s all crap, but people tend to be sheep until it directly affects them. New teachers roll over and play dead because they want a job, so must quote “Common Core.” They know nothing else. Hopefully, someday when this “black age of education” is over, imagination with once more be important.
