What’s odd about it all is how no one, seemingly, is interested in exploring why.

• State legislators don’t want to do it.

• Local school boards have other things on their minds.

• And the press is too busy covering real problems, like Donald Trump’s refusal to return classified documents to the National Archives,

to spend any time exploring the reason kids are still being allowed to graduate from public schools without anything close to the mastery they need to get ahead in life.^___^
