Why The Education System Is Failing America
"CNBC Marathon explores why the education system in the U.S. is struggling by taking a hard look at the Common Core, teacher’s salaries, and sex education. First implemented in 2009, Common Core was an ambitious initiative to revolutionize the American education system. National leaders from Bill Gates to President Obama supported the idea and it cost an estimated $15.8 billion to implement. Years later, research showed the new curriculum had minimal impact on student performance. So why did Common Core fail? Can a common curriculum be successful for all students? At the same time, teachers earn nearly 20% less than other professionals with similar education and experience, according to the Economic Policy Institute. In many states, their wages are below the living wage, forcing teachers to seek secondary jobs to supplement their income or leave the profession altogether. So why are teachers paid so little and how can the U.S. fix that? And the majority of U.S. students report they've had sex before graduation, which means the type of sex education they receive can be a big deal, for themselves personally and for the economy. The federal government doesn't have any official regulations for what schools must include in the sex education curriculum, which has lead to inconsistent lessons across the country. Watch the video above to learn why sex education is so crucial for the economy and what happens when some students are left behind.

Ben Carson to Newsmax: US Seeing Dumbing Down of Society
"Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson said the U.S. is "seeing the dumbing down of our society right now and the distortion of our history," but parents all over the country are fed up and doing something about it.
Carson was responding to a pledge by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy during his address to the 118th Congress earlier this week to fix "woke indoctrination in our schools."
"John Adams said our system is based upon a well-informed and educated populace and it won't work otherwise and we're seeing the dumbing down of our society right now and the distortion of our history," Carson said Saturday during an appearance on Newsmax's "Saturday Report.".." from the article: Ben Carson to Newsmax: US Seeing Dumbing Down of Society
