I agree the "we're heros" shit is obnoxious, but this is one area i will agree with the average redditor on: It's not the teacher's fault.
The problem stems from
A: Not being able to expel students. Even in the 2000s it was clear that one raging nog just killed the entire learning environment for 2 dozen other students, and it puts the teacher on the defensive. They go out of their way to try and ruin the learning environment, this even happenned at my university.
B: Not letting students choose schools. This has actually gotten better but is still a problem, if a school sucks it should fail.
C: Not letting teachers teach the way they want.
D: Not being allowed to give perks to students who excel and punish students who suck.
Basically socialism is the core problem as usual.
What's really great is all of these are dancing around the real problem.
A: You can't expel students becuase Niggers would be expelled for doing Nigger shit.
B. You can't allow people to choose schools because they would INVARIABLY choose not to be around Niggers.
C. You can't allow teachers to teach the way they want because they wouldn't teach down to everyone so the Niggers can get it.
D. You can't punish students for failure becuase it would reveal Niggers succeed less than everyone else, and that's heresy.
The left -- and thus, the teacher's unions, and thus, education in the US -- has a sacred dogma that there's no difference in any people anywhere ever, be it sex, race, culture, upbringing, genetics. Any deviation from this is a sin against the longhouse.
They would rather make entire generations of children fucking retarded than admit their belief in their own sacred farts is wrong. You will have to claw their hands off the levers controlling our society using a fucking crowbar.
I don't think it's socialism. I think it's LCD - lowest common denominator. Too many things - education, culture, the internet, politics, journalism, the workplace, etc. - have been dumbed down to accommodate the shit-for-brains tier. The "progressive" movement once upon a time was a relentless drive to mediocrity; awful seems to be the new goal.
Having recently had to go through mandatory training at work -- at a company that is now openly discriminating against Whites and only hiring Indians (To the point that we have a total hiring freeze on Americans but thousands of openings in India) -- This rings true. The training has to be stupid enough that Jeets can (cheat at it to) pass it. The policies and procedures have to be written like you're a paste eating retard, so Jeets can (pretend to) follow them. It's ostensibly some rather extensive IT consulting contracts with a lot of AWS Devops and Project Management skills required... but the training is such that Jeets who have never actually used a computer before can pass it, with the literal spoken expectation that the few Americans they haven't laid off yet will be able to wipe the Jeet's asses as they shit all over the contracts.
Education is the same way. You can't expect anyone to achieve better than what the dumbest fucking Nigger hoodrat being shoved in the classroom almost via the same rope loop on a stick system they use to capture rabid dogs because the school is a de-facto babysitter for Tyrone and Shaniqua so their mother can go be a fat lazy whore and their father can be dead/in jail. Anything that reveals this uncomfortable truth -- metrics, studies, colloquial evidence, etc -- must be suppressed.
