Governor Gavin Newsom announced on Thursday an agreement that requires all California high school students to take a semester-long personal finance education course starting by the 2027-28 school year.
You’re getting downvoted but my friend is a 5th grade school teacher in California and confirmed to me that for years now when her students get to 5th grade they can’t read or even sound out basic words and she’s required to keep passing them to middle school.
Teachers all over the US are saying kids can’t read. Combined with the fact that teachers have to strictly follow their curriculums which are not designed for these kids, that means American kids will continue to not develop literacy skills. IMO it’s a valid question to ask: what are we doing about that?
Just not literacy literacy classes.
They have to have 3 years of English
So yeah.
