Cade Brumley is a rising star and exactly what Louisiana needed.

If you are in education you know all that is about is manipulating data.

It's amazing what having a kid, learning how to read, sound out the words can do.
This new form of education....wait a minute.

When compared to 2019 performances, both fourth and eighth graders are 5 points behind in reading. In math, fourth graders are down 3 points and eighth graders are down 8, according to the data.
A breakdown of math results for both fourth and eighth graders show significant improvements from 2022 were only tracked in students in the 50th percentile and higher. Students in the 10th and 25th percentiles did not show significant changes, the data shows.
Louisiana and Alabama were the only two states to exceed any pre-pandemic levels in reading and math, the results show. Fourth graders in Louisiana improved in reading compared to 2019, while Alabama fourth graders recorded higher scores in math.
So, what are LA and AL doing right?!?!
And why are the dumb (below 50th percentile) getting dumber when billions upon billions of $$ are being poured into schools nationawide.
At this point, none of this can be blamed on the 'pandemic.' Heck, today's 4th graders weren't even in school, or maybe just in pre-K, when the pandemic happened. Teachers are getting more incompetent, the curriculum is designed by idiots, and taxpayers are funding the production of incompetent dummies.
POTUS has a lot of work to do over at DOE.

So bama and LA have improved from prior to COVID, whereas everyone else just sucks less than after 2020?

Curriculum has largely been the same since 2015.
What has changed since Brumley became state superintendent in 2020 are several policy shifts and laws to address the longstanding literacy crisis in La. Among those are a phonics-based approach to teaching reading and corresponding, meaningful professional development for teachers, high-dosage tutoring, and literacy screeners that monitor reading abilities with prescriptive interventions.

I don't know, seems staying away from our schools actually helped the kids more than being in the school.
I mean, these 4th graders were stuck at home during pre-K and K, which are the formative years for reading. Probably a lot of grandmas at home reading books to kids. Novel concept (no pun intended).
The proof will be in the next few years, when the kids tested were actually in school when they learned to read.

Brian Kelly is producing result.

That is great
Unfortunately they changed things this year and need to go back to way they were doing things last year.

Reading “coaches” in the early grade levels are the major reason why. They are typically retired teachers that know what they are doing. It allows the teacher to work with students at or above average. The others get “coached up.”

Amazing what happens when you focus on phonics and decodable words when they are young instead of having them look at the picture and guess. I’m so furious about the way my oldest was taught to read. I couldn’t figure out why this bright kid was struggling so much to learn to read. I finally got him diagnosed as dyslexic, and guess what the school finally taught him in intervention? Phonics. I mean, you have to be kidding me. He’s a pretty good reader now.
It sounds like Louisiana has it together, but if you live somewhere that doesn’t offer phonics-based reading, do yourself a favor and buy these books. Don’t even read the books they send home. LINK
