蓋洛普與沃爾頓家族基金會在八月做的民調顯示，只有32%的美國成年人對K-12教育品質感到滿意。
This is down 11 percentage points from the past two years. It is the lowest level in 27 years.
這比過去兩年下降了11個百分點，也是27年來的新低。
The percentage of people who are not satisfied has risen to a high of 67%.

Education experts say this result is worrying, but it is not surprising.

Democrats are the main reason for the drop in satisfaction.

Independent voters dropped about 10 points, while Republicans dropped about 6 points.

Experts say the Trump administration called schools a political battlefield. It pushed to end diversity programs and wanted to remove the Education Department.

These actions weakened public confidence.

After the pandemic, schools were closed for a time. Also, national test scores dropped, especially in reading. This made the public view schools more negatively.

This is the lowest point since 2013. But it is still twice the satisfaction rate of all adults.

Another poll shows that only about 20% of Americans think schools do well in teaching critical thinking. They also think schools do well in preparing students for work.
