Our so called slide came about with standardized tests which do not always measure what it says it does. The demand that all children in all schools test the same requires teachers to teach to the test which limits what can be taught. Kids remember what is taught through project based learning which goes deep. Teaching to the test goes wide...lots of different facts all in a string but not time to really get it.
