The more teaching is regulated, the worse it gets

The more the State of California regulates teaching, the worse it gets. State content standards, P.A.C.T., CAHSEE Testing,and STAR Testing are turning our schools into dumbed down widget factories. Creativity is dead. Electives and practical skills are dead. If it wasn't illegal to bypass school, it would be amazing if anyone showed up at all.

The Business model that's being applied by politicians and their select academia is poisoning learning. One has to wonder if the dumbing down process is intentional.
