The middle 50% of the LSU Freshman Class in 2022 received between a 23-29 on the ACT.

I’ll say this again : all public schools should be ended. No more. Finished. Done.
It was a nice experiment but it is time to end it.
It is a fail experiment.
It is a proven fact that students in private schools preform better because their parents are invested in their education.
We are allowing the government to steal our money to fund these failing ‘schools’.
Defund Public Education.

Plan is working perfectly. Welcome to Costco, I love you!

Sad, just sad. But they know all about how evil white men are.And no-one gets hurt feelings. Science classes today must be a hoot, with 350 genders and the world dying for evil oil.

How is it that the ACT scores have risen over the last 29 years?
For one, when I was in high school you took the test blind. There was no studying. It actually was a real test of your knowledge. Now you take classes and study guides and take the exam over and over.

I can’t place all the blame on the pandemic
No, blame it on a system that forced a culture that doesn’t value education, into a school system that formerly did. The result is that now ALL of the schools suck, not just the ones that didn’t give a shite. It certainly all equaled out, just not in the direction they thought it would.

It's almost like there was a plan all along.
Especially when you see how long that little worm Faucci kept pushing for masks, shots, and to shut it all down.

The definition of “vaccine” was changed to fit undesirable data. The definition of “recession” was changed to fit undesirable data. They’ll just change the tests to dumb them down and raise the scores.

I know private schools are all the rage in Louisiana, but that is not the norm in the country as a whole.

That means (about) half the test takes did worse than that.
That’s only if the scores have a normal distribution

I will say there seems to be a push at the state level in a lot of places to have everyone take it. That’s not helping either

This is because teachers are being forced to teach kids how to pass a state test... and not actually teach them
Amazing what govt intervention and regulation has done to the public school system. The hilarious thing is when you go to the teaching subreddit it is one step to the right of communist and they sit there and bitch about all the problems the left and govt created and they seriously blame the republicans

The decline has been going on now for 5 years...
Curious why 64% of recent graduates DID NOT take the ACT during their senior year?
We as a country are preparing our future to be a consumer of societal advancement, not leading in it.

Get your chit together! National wealth transfer to those who have advancement prowess is happening. US is in decline one major fracture at a time.

Roughly 1.3 million students nationwide took the ACT during their senior year — or 36% of recent graduates. And a greater share of students took the exam more than once compared to 2021 grads.

“The magnitude of the declines this year is particularly alarming, as we see rapidly growing numbers of seniors leaving high school without meeting the college-readiness benchmark in any of the subjects we measure,” said Godwin.

I know! Let's send the head of the teachers union to Ukraine! That should fix everything.

For everyone here that promotes blue collar trade school over college, shouldn’t neglecting the ACT be celebrated? It is a shift in mindset, after all, from valuing skills useful for academia.
I promote blue collar work over college for the kids that I think will do better for themselves spending their time learning a trade and reading a book about finances and how to start a business.
For the academically gifted, I absolutely promote college. An academic skill set is not something everyone has. Those who have it should utilize it. Those with other skill sets should use those.
I have an academic skill set and I used it. I can’t build a shed or fix a broken sink for shite. I hire someone to do that stuff for me.
I just want people to be happy and productive. Wasting time and money in college isn’t productive for most people.

Whose alter are you?
FWIW, the long, slow, steady decline of our educational system has been going on much longer than the pandemic. The response to it is certainly a factor, but test scores aren’t a result of the last two to three years. This is a cumulative effect of years in an educational system that panders to the lowest standards.

Making the test easier would work just as well, and be more equitable (cheaper too, but money is no object).

Correct. I know in Louisiana its required for all students to take the ACT which is stupid. Some kinds have no intention of being college-bound and it drastically reduces the scores of school districts and the state overall.
The ACT WorkKeys assessment is much better for JumpStart/TOPS Tech students.

Because the SAT is more popular and required by more colleges than the ACT is?
