Correlation =/= causation. Somehow other countries did it right? So maybe it’s just US thing

No it isn’t. Finland did the same thing and now our schools are fucked up.

No, what’s messed up education in Finland is that it’s much, much harder now to fail and hold back a student. The semi-equivalent of the USA’s No Child Left Behind policy. Schools here in Finland still use plenty of books, and at least they still teach how to use computers, like typing lessons, unlike the USA. Here in Masala they even started teaching classes about detecting AI use, it’s usage in propaganda, and privacy on the internet plus usage of AdBlockers in elementary school. My wife gave the lessons - though she changed it up on the second one after seeing that kids don’t really care about this stuff much unless framed differently, like “you can watch YouTube without ads” rather than “it’s your legal right to not have ads as children” and “Linux has many many free games” for example.
