One can't just be blaming the republicans, as they haven't had been in power for 30 years straight...

It appears lately that not only are things not getting better, . . . things are getting worse.
Here's how math is "taught" nowadays:

It seems to poor old DonDiego the kid got the right answer, . . . and the teacher deducted points. What the heck !

Poor old DonDiego scored an 800 on his Math Level 2 SAT Test in High School, earned a BS in Aeronautical Engineering in 4 years, and followed that with an MS in Industrial Engineering, . . . and he has no idea what this question means.
Maybe it's a good thing schools are being shut down before they damage the children's minds.
