What does the future of K-12 education in the United States look like?

For context: I’m a foresight student and briefly observed some Texas schools recently, and things have changed…

Students no longer write full (5 paragraph) essays and write on short response cards / index cards instead; testing is done on the computer; some subjects are completely taught in Spanish / Bilingual with some non-Spanish speaking kids enrolled; students seem behind in reading, writing, and math among other subjects; and we can’t forget other post-COVID effects.

Not implying that any of this can be easily classified as good or bad education, but wondering what is this like for students, teachers, and parents? What could this mean for the future of K-12 education in the US? Are there any other significant changes or implications you're seeing?
