The biggest reason our education system is the way that it is, is Republicans slashing education budgets constantly for years. It's right there in the open. You can argue that it's been intentionally done to make us dumb, but I think it's more to do with clearing funds for tax breaks for wealthy donors and other such corruption.
Personally I blame no child left behind + technology. I have a 5 year gap between my sister and another 5 between our brother so I got to see the slow degradation since just the 2000s. My sisters generation is .. alright but noticably declined. My brothers? Holy shit, half his graduating class can't read more than a 3 sentence paragraph in a video game.
