This is bullshite. I’m from Louisiana and read at an 11th grade level.

As a 40 year-old it’s something I’m very proud of.

It’s pretty sad that the districts that were considered among the best in the state in that timeframe (Ascension, Livingston, etc., IIRC) are celebrated for being dead average. Such a low bar in Louisiana.

Southeast looks like CFB and college basketball recruiting map. And a Democrat Party voting map.

And that average is based on recent test scores overall, right?

I'd like to know what that map would look like compared to average test scores in 1960. The entire map would be burgundy.

I’m surprised our students are only 3 grade levels behind. This is actually good news. I would have bet the over and thought it was closer to 6-8 grade levels behind.

I completely bought into that well into my mid 20's. I never even questioned it.

What a colossal fricking mistake that was.

Something isn’t sitting quite right with me and new jersey. But then again I am at least 3 grade levels behind and might not be able to internet this information

Most of this data is before the new reading initiative but man.. Mississippi is not doing great ( shocker)

Curious how a more recent map with new data would look .. minus the demographic adjusting like from The article from earlier today at how MS is leading the nation now in reading

compared to other midwestern states, michigan has a lot of purple in extremely white areas. interesting.

eta: also, Idaho appears to be full of dumb whites as well. and Washington and Oregon. What's going on in the PNW?

there’s a shite ton of Vietnamese here in the Wichita area. Not sure what the connection is but imagine it’s something to do with the airplane industry.

Not disagreeing with you but open the tweet and you can zoom in enough to see that the only green area in LA is Zachary.

2016 Presidential election



And for comparison:


So with the new exception of West Virginia, Nevada and some parts of the deep South, lower test scores vote Democratic. And with the exception of the Northeast, higher test scores vote Republican.

We need to bring back the Pizza Hut Book It! Program at school. Then, these fat retards would have some motivation.
