DO read the entire article and strive to understand the definition of 'proficient' provided therein. Just because they can 'read' words doesn't mean they can read. Parroting is not reading.

I believe it. Our education system is arse. Teachers are more concerned with indoctrinating their students, rather than actually educating them.

That means 133% of 8th grade students can't read or do math!!

My daughter leaned over and said in my ear “Daddy, I don’t think they are smart enough to understand math jokes”

Our results are dog shite, we need more money to attract superior teachers than what we can provide!

Best guesstimate is that he has a negative net worth of $1.5 million. In his best year, he made $13.1 million. Anybody that earned that much and is broke deserves no pity.

I am a teacher and I can vouch for this.
That’s because most teachers are union liberals that instead of teaching math and reading you prefer to teach that little boys can be girls and the proper way to suck a dick while you worthless fricking heathens pump kids full of Marxist propaganda.
That’s why my kid is homeschooled. You, yes you and the rest of those like you have ruined the education system in America.
It’s not about education anymore, it’s about progressive indoctrination.
Like the Podesta leaks said, you have dumbed down the population to meet liberal goals for a compliant population.
If you are not a liberal pos indoctrinating our kids with Marxist queer shite, wtf have you done to stop it? You still pay your union dues? I have no respect for teachers today. Teachers are the problem with education. You teach this shite to kids. It’s not their fault, it’s yours.

That's impossible, how can you not read at 8th grade?
Shite, we were writting term papers at that age with footnotes.
Oh wait:
About 11 percent of young citizens of the U.S. couldn't even locate the U.S. on a map.
The National Geographic–Roper 2002 Global Geographic Literacy Survey polled more than 3,000 18- to 24-year-olds in Canada, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Sweden and the United States.
Sweden scored highest; Mexico, lowest. The U.S. was next to last.
I'm sensing a correlation.

Well..they certianly stay on Snapchat, Twitter and message boards a whole lot for being unable to read...I believe most 8th graders can read when they want to.
They just can't read books, or write coherent paragraphs, because those things are formed using too many characters...cellphones have wrecked a generation.

This is what your mind goes to? No offense, but that's a tad creepy. Where are you schooling your children, in the basement? God help them.

New England had a 100% school enrollment rate in the 1600s, literally centuries before public schools.
Hey, HailHail, this is not true. Many towns had primary or grammar schools but not all did in the 17th century. And country folk away from towns rarely sent their kids to town to school. The Ole Deluder Satan Act of 1647 was NOT enforced in Puritan Massachusetts in that time.
