Schools Need To Get Back in Their Own Lane

Our American public school system is a joke.
Kids aren't learning anything. They are illiterate yet they graduate. They can't do basic math. They were taught revisionist history and activism and LGBTQIA+ in the classrooms instead of the basics.
So I applaud President Donald J. Trump's withholding of $6b in "education grants" that the public schools so desperately want but are misusing. Teaching parents how to parent? That's not what my taxpayers should be paying for. Teaching illegal immigrants how to speak English and get welfare and benefits? Nope.
In my local school district, they've gone way past "educating" and are trying to be social services. They do the students' laundry for them for free. They provide them with free haircuts. They have food and clothing pantries for the kids to just pick up free stuff. They want more mental health counselors.
Whatever happened to TEACHING our children? Isn't that what they're supposed to be doing? They're not even doing that anymore. It's all about the money.
Anybody else as fed up as I am with this public school BS?

You're telling me that American public school sucks. Is it true to all public schools? Some of our public schools here in the Philippines soar high as far as education quality is concerned. They do excel academically.

Yes, the American Education System is broken. We're churning out diplomas to dummies.

@LooeyVille That's really bad. Now what's the last recourse? To cripple it?

Okay
So LGBTQIA+
What on earth does the IA mean?
It seems to be much the same there as it is here.
Social workers right enough.
They get everything free here as well.
A high number of kids here leave school at 16 barely able to read and write
