Chalk this up once again to Democrats ‘ obsession with rewarding political allies at the expense of the public .
New data from the National Assessment of Educational Progress show that student test scores nationwide suffered their worst decline in history.
The NAEP, also known as the Nation’s Report Card, measures student proficiency in reading and math at the fourth and eighth grade levels. This year, it found that students at all levels, from the most advanced in the 90th percentile down to the lowest achievers in the 10th percentile, have seen a significant decline in their math and reading proficiency.
Although there are surely other culprits — in Virginia, for example, Democratic appointees watered down educational standards starting in 2015, followed by precipitous declines in proficiency — the obvious culprit for most of the national decline is distance learning during COVID.
Federalization of education, unionization of teachers, common-core… All major contributors as well!
I think if they had done it correctly and had a better teaching basis to start with, Covid would have been a non-event related to education.
School vouchers
Student Democrat Indoctrination at work CRT !!!!
Nothing will get done while CONgress continues to fight with one another and with the administration.
I think I read the scores in math were the lowest. NO DOUBT! Parents can’t teach this new math to their children!.
