In the past 100 years, American education has gone down a different path in the name of “progress.” The characteristics of today’s system, however, make me question how much progress we have really achieved.
Eaman, how are you “qualified” to speak about education in America?
I knew this question was coming…
Simple. I have a brain. Oh, and the 1st amendment.
The following are just extras but I’ll throw it in there just for the trolls. 😘 –
- I’m American, born and bred.
- I went to public school from PreK – 12th grade.
- I have a degree in Education.
- I’ve taught in public, private, and charter school settings.
- I have experience with virtual schooling and, of course, homeschooling.

Part 2
We have a crisis on our hands in schools throughout the U.S. I’m sure you’ve read about the tragic decline in math and reading scores among young kids.
But there’s something else in K-12 education that poses a serious threat to children, and that is “woke”, groomer, activist teachers.
Hey teachers – keep your biased politics and personal life where it belongs- outside of the classroom. English, Math, Science, Civics- how hard can it be?
What was American education like in the past? American Education focused on the basics.
Primary students learned the “three Rs.” – reading, writing, arithmetic. When they were ready, students would move on to a grammar school and more complex literature.
They were also taught enough math to function in everyday life and in a trade.
Part 3
American Education THEN: Teachers spent time introducing students to the great authors of the past. The current American education system, however, cuts students off from the past by almost solely focusing on modern literature selected for its conformity to modern ideals…oh and porn like books.

Kid: Prays to God
Teacher: “Don’t do that! You could offend other students!”
Other kids: Chanting to the Aztec gods because the TEACHER told them to do so.
Teacher: “Oh my! They are so well cultured.🥰

The last thing you need to know about American Public School Education Then and Now
As C.S. Lewis said, “We all want progress. But progress means getting nearer to the place you want to be. And if you have taken a wrong turn, then to go forward does not get you any nearer. If you are on the wrong road, progress means doing an about turn and walking back to the right road.”
We very well need to do an “about turn” with the American education system.
