What happens when students routinely graduate high school — and even enter elite universities — without mastery of basic math or logical reasoning? In this provocative exposé, Rose Horowitch argues that decades of lowered academic standards, pandemic-era disruption, and over-reliance on technology have combined to erode core educational foundations. The result: a generation increasingly unprepared for critical thinking, problem-solving, and intellectual rigor.
Join othe conversation as we unpack the stakes: what does this decline mean for colleges, careers, and the future of civic competence? Can we reverse course — and what would it take to rebuild the intellectual foundation of a society that depends on informed, rational citizens?
