Alright, so I was reading this article about how the education system in the U.S. got called out for being “mediocre” back in the '70s and early '80s. It’s like this: people started throwing the word “mediocrity” around to describe schools, and it caught fire. By 1983, it was front and center in that famous report, A Nation at Risk.

What’s wild is how it tied into this whole idea of meritocracy—like, if you’re not performing, you’re not worth much—and how it lined up with the rise of neoliberalism. Basically, they were saying schools weren’t preparing people to compete in the big, bad, capitalist world.

The article dives into old New York Times pieces from back then, showing how this conversation evolved.
