I think our education levels generally rank in the 30-ish range across the board, even though we spend more per pupil than most developed nations. I still have an 8th grader and senior in high school, from what I can see it’s a total joke. My 8th grader has a new Spanish teacher this year, white dude that self taught Spanish as an ICE agent until last year. My brother in law is an ICE agent and said this guy’s Spanish is terrible. Shocker that my senior daughter (who is in AP Spanish) is having to tutor my son. Also shame on the school for promoting their former Spanish teacher to administration even though they didn’t have a replacement. It generally feels like the qualifications to be a teacher are so low that they will hire anybody, that’s just one example of many.
