Education is fundamental to Western National Power. Yet, many people are saying things like:
- Too many modern-day kids can’t read or do math.
- The school system is broken.
- Teachers do too much administration.
- Modern teaching methods don’t work, and we should go back to the old ways of teaching.
- Standardized testing is a problem.
- There’s not enough discipline in schools.
