I am a teacher and I can vouch for this.

And most likely they are the ones you'll be yelling at in the Drive-Thru...
"It can be that hard! Come on!!"

I swear, people. Words matter. 65% of 8th graders can't read proficiently, for their level. 65% of kids aren't illiterate.

Betcha they know what pronouns their teachers want them to use though.

Reason # 112 why my kids go to Catholic school...

So, our teachers are overpaid??

Any more information on this? Maybe a link?
Both my children read on a 4th grade level in the 1st grade.
Maybe the children in your kids school are all retarded?

Vince Young can't read and he's a millionaire

They can still vote Democrat and that's all matters

I wonder what the percentages are if you remove children of illegal aliens.
Posted on 5/1/18 at 2:37 pm to Pdubntrub
Yeah, no.
Maybe qualify that with downtown Chicago, Detroit, New Orleans, D.C, Jackson, etc it might at least be a step or to closer to the truth....
Not Nationally.

Even the ridiculous standard testing she scores above average. And all of her classmates can read and do math at least at the middle school level.

OP is way too vague. Those stats may be true in some places, but I'd need a little more detail before biting.

“Eighth-graders performing at the Proficient level should…understand the connections between fractions, percents, decimals, and other mathematical topics such as algebra and functions,” says NCES. “Students at this level are expected to have a thorough understanding of Basic level arithmetic operations—an understanding sufficient for problem solving in practical situations.” When it comes to reading, eighth-grade “students performing at the Proficient level should be able to provide relevant information and summarize main ideas and themes,” says NCES. “They should be able to make and support inferences about a text, connect parts of a text, and analyze text features. Students performing at this level should also be able to fully substantiate judgments about content and presentation of content.” The NAEP math and reading tests are scored on a scale of 0-500. The average reading score for an eighth-grade public school student on the 2017 NAEP test was 265. That was slightly above the average score of 264 that public school eight graders achieved in 2015, but slightly below the average score of 266 public school eighth graders achieved in 2013. The average math score for an eighth-grade public school student on the 2017 NAEP test was 282. That was slightly above the average score of 281 in 2015, but slightly less than the average score of 284 in 2013.
Pretty misleading title. Because their comprehension may not be "Proficient" does not mean they can't read.
Not to mention these scores came from assessment tests, which kids know they aren't graded on. I remember trying to make a dick out of the scantron bubbles in 9th grade for an assessment test. This means nothing
