You want kids to pass a test to "graduate" from daycare? {sarcasm} {laugh} Sorry, but it seems that school currently is more or less a parking lot for children until they are 18, when they supposedly become adults ready to move out of the house.
Unfortunately far too many of them aren't ready to move out and live on their own. Should we blame the education system? Or the parents?
There is a value to testing. By testing someone, that motivates the person to think about the material, pay attention to it and maybe comprehend it. We do far too much testing on trivia though. It's really not that important to learn a bunch of names and dates. However we darn well better expect our children to learn to read, write and do arithmetic.
In addition to the fundamental skills, children must be taught survival skills: cooking, cleaning, and dealing with the "system" (aka how not to be a criminal, how to get a job, etc).
Critical race theory seems a bit too close to "excuse-ism". I'm meeting far, far too many people that go through life making excuses for why they have so many problems. "Oh darn, I can't get a job because I'm a white male and we have had it too good for too long and thus I must be punished by being denied mortgages, passed over for jobs and overlooked for promotions."
If I'm following your line of thought correctly, you are saying that parents have become less and less involved in the education of their children placing that duty SOLELY in the hands of the government school programs. If that is your point, I am in TOTAL agreement with you.
As far as CRT becoming a crutch for the lazy white trash of society, I can total aee that being a valid argument. However, there ARE many white men (especially) and women being passed over for possessions they are the most qualified for because of the push of "equality, diversity and inclusion" demanded by the teachings of CRT. Many minorities are being placed in higher possessions, NOT because they are the most qualified. Instead because they check a box for having a minority in said place to make the company LOOK good and "inclusive".
I personally belive that giving someone a job because they have more melanin than another more qualified person is the more racist act. Racist against the one who was passed over AND racist against the minority because they were given the spot just because they are in a minority.
The teachings of CRT have led to MORE entitlement mentality in recent years. Many behaviors that will get me, as a white middle-aged man, put in jail for a prolonged period of time, are being excused/dismissed for back youth on the basis that they are "exercising their 1st amendment rights." Never mind they are destroying other people's property/livelihood in the process. An what they are doing IS in fact CRIMINAL.
I personally don't believe that CRT is being used as an excuse by whites as much as it is being used as a weapon AGAINST whites.
Just to be clear, I do NOT believe ALL minorities subscribe to the teachings of CRT as I don't belive that ALL white people are inherently racist, which is what they want you to belive in the CRT doctrine.
When they cannot admit to themselves that the system they've controlled and managed for over half a century is at the root cause of educational failure, they concoct some folderol about "racism." This ignores the inherent racism in doing so, of course, but no matter. This gives them the excuse to dumb down their standards rather than fixing the problems.
Hey! Teacher! Leave those Kids alone! (Teachers, you taught me to anathematize and execrate you and your generally apathetic, mostly mendacious, and basically bastardized indoctrinations!).
We should admit that not only is dumbing down the intended and stated function and purpose of the publick school system in most of the USA, it is likewise the mission of most of the so-called churches. The nasty canker of the rejection of the Noahic Covenant and the desecration of the visual spectrum is a natural result of their form of godliness and denial of the power of God. It's a topic for another discussion, but it is impossible to really disconnect the spiritual unplug from the mental decline. Ya got the stupidest doofus, who makes Nero look like Thomas Jefferson, for the "eponymous leader of the free world" and multitudes of sub-doofi backing him up. Yer churches and yer schools just want to pull the wool over the eyes of its zombied converts and bewitched ones.
The whole purpose of Public Education in the USA is to create good members of society, obedient workers. The Powers that Be don't want hordes of troublemakers and basketfuls of deplorables who can think for themselves, in the same way that yer modern day Pharisees certainly don't want the interference of apostles or prophets.
I belive the dumbing down of America was very much an intentional thing. The degree to the extreme we are seeing today was not necessarily the goal intended, but it IS the natural result of the "snowball rolling down hill."
Each passing year (chronological, not grade) students are exposed to less and less REAL and USEFUL information thus making the dumber than a bucket of rocks in the end.
A large number of students are passed into the nexted grade simply because of their age, OR because they are too difficult to deal with and the current school level teachers want nothing more to do with the "trouble maker." The teachers scream that they are not paid enough to put up with such "dangerous" students. Never mind that the student was made that way by the very system that is passing the buck onto someone else further down the hill has that snowball continues to grow.

Babysitting is one of the purposes of the school system and it is the desire to maintain institutionalized daycare that sustained the teachers unions.

Teach them right, teach them early.... and you won't have anywhere near as many problems down the line as they get older!
