Why do I feel like you’d blame Trump before you’d blame how the left used covid and covid statistics?

You are assuming the grades aren't being puffed...

And yet people like you hate standardized testing.

Well since I always directly address the arguments, & don't come off like a clueless moron just stooping to ad hominem attacks, I'd say I'm "something".

The less we spend on them the stronger student's scores are correct?

Given they overhauled HOW they spent and went back to tried and true methods that means that they took the same amount of spending they had and were more EFFICIENT with it.

So Maga Dogeing the DOE out of existence is the logical thing to do right?

Sounds like the prime idea of the department of government efficiency. They did things at the state level




I think you in your typical racist liberal way though can’t comprehend that southern black students are smart enough and worthy enough of doing better than northern counterparts even with less money. Hence you accusing them of cheating

Great . I see you walked right into it too.

Walked right into what?

I know you don’t know who I am so I’ll give you a little insight, I have been extremely supportive of DOGE and efforts taken to make the Fed Gov smaller.

I dislike the DOE as I feel that they have morphed (giving the founding a benefit of the doubt) into a gigantic academic slush fund that’s proliferated the explosion of non-teaching, middle management academic staff at elementary, middle, and high schools.

This explosion of staff has resulted in fewer resources going to actual teachers and actual students but rather to an academic jobs programs for people with education degrees.

Correlation is not causation. If the school systems that spent more per student used that money to more so to pay teachers more, possibly attracting and retaining better teachers, while instituting evidenced based curriculums the scores for those systems may be better.

MS and LA have adopted curriculums and strategies using proven teaching methods used decades ago for reading in particular and somewhat in mathematics. That’s why our score relative to others have increased generally, and when adjusted demographically, significantly.

This reeks of the Atlanta Public Schools cheating scandal

I don't believe this for a second.

Bumping up reading and reading comprehension is huge.

Yep. Wondering how long those states can keep this up, and how long before this gets noticed beyond the circles that track it.

Those who have actually paid attention( it’s been brought up on this board a few times) know this is the result of a years long project in Mississippi to change how students are taught.

A simple 5 minute Google search can prevent you from being a fool.
