Hey, that’s my favorite System of a Down lyric!
All research and successful health policies show
That walking should be increased
And law enforcement decreased while abolishing
Mandatory minimum parking spots
I buy my crack, I smack my bitch
Right here in Hollywood
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?
