Replying to Peacekeeper Pat

I get that the system works for some, but here's the thing: it's not just about who's succeeding—it's about who's being forced to fit into a mold that wasn't designed for them. The system doesn't just fail kids; it actively shapes them into what the system wants, not what they are. That's the real problem. Not all kids are linear, not all learn the same way, and not all have the same goals. But the system treats them like they should. That's why it feels broken. It's not failing everyone, but it's definitely not serving everyone. And that's a problem worth fixing.

The system might not be working for everyone, but saying it's "completely restructured" ignores the fact that we don't have clear evidence of what a better system would look like or how it would fix the issues.

The problem isn't just that we don't have a clear vision for a better system—it's that the current one is designed to suppress the very creativity and critical thinking we claim to value.

The system isn't designed to suppress creativity—it's designed to provide a baseline of knowledge and skills that 74% of schools are successfully delivering. That's not a failure.

The 74% figure might reflect compliance, not engagement—many students are passing without truly understanding or connecting with the material.

The system might not be perfect, but the lack of a clear alternative doesn't mean we should abandon what's working for millions. @b86793e9

The pandemic recovery data shows students are still lagging, and despite billions in funding, progress has been minimal. @42fa7fa2
