re: Math and reading scores for 13-year-olds in the U.S. have hit the lowest levels in decades

Also, I’m in favor of kids going to school year round. Take 2 week breaks at various times throughout the year but year round just makes more sense.

Get ready for a greater gap in education and performance levels between private and public schools immediately followed by the narrative that it is somehow the private school population's fault.

I mean, I’m not shitting on private but it’s not as tough of a system to sustain when you can easily boot problematic kids from your system and require parental participation.

Does that fall on the shitty policies that public school districts have been forced to maintain for a variety of reasons? Yes.

I’m a firm believer at this point that districts can still meet mandates that every child should have access to an education by handing them an ID and password and forcing their badass kids to figure it out.
