Does not =

[img]Mississippi made a big commitment to literacy. Kids cannot advance past 5th grade without being able to read well. [/img]

A student in Louisiana may be assigned a literacy “coach,” but are under no obligation to prove that they are learning via testing.

In other words, with no skin in the game, the effectiveness is not nearly what it could (and should) be imho.

Mississippi is doing it correctly.

Louisiana is simply being Louisiana.

Thank your BESE board.
