Melissa @melissaleigh123.bsky.social · 21/09/2026My most Boomer opinion is that the schools need to bring back handwriting drills, times tables, phonics, and reading books in elementary school. I don’t know WHY we moved away from that stuff (I’m sure some combo of standardized tests, Common Core, and NCLB) but it is basic stuff. 100
