If we really valued education, how could we allow 27 five year olds to be taught be one adult at a time?
If anyone has spent more than 10 minutes with a five year old, you know that having one adult in a room with 27 of them is craziness. Especially when those kids don’t know how to read, write, or even pronounce their letter sounds.
How do we expect our society to move forward if we can’t teach all young people to read and write? How do we expect one teacher to teach 27 different kids at the same time? It’s obviously not working and it feels like the crisis needs to be felt community-wide.
