Why can't our school aged kids write, read and spell?

Why can't young adults and children for that matter, read and write and more importantly spell, and form proper words?
It is not the fault of these kids, as they were just following what they were taught. Nobody can blame them. I feel bad for these kids. They do not know any better.
As a sidenote, try as I might, as a parent encouraging spelling, and reading and writing as I knew it, it was always superceded by the STATUS QUO of writing the way you 'feel it should be written and the way it should sound'. Whoop-de-doo! What about spellingÉ
Kids will always do what is taught in schools. They really have no choice.

Sorry. I really, really tried with the kids, but the school system has had major precedence with what they taught the kids everyday.
We need grammar, word formation and spelling to save the unsuspecting next generation.
