I think your reading comprehension may need some work. Maybe those 4th graders here can help you out? Come find out. I would love if the people of Mississippi would take education seriously. That would be cause for celebration. That's not what is happening.
I see you dodged my last reply. Good choice. You don’t wanna make yourself look more like a moron. The ole keep your mouth shut and don’t remove all doubt routine. I get it.
We are still waiting for you to explain “what is going on”.
Until you say otherwise.. we are implying that you are claiming that black educators are having to forge test scores in majority black districts because of your belief they are too stupid to be educated.
By all means… come correct us.

MS added some pay for performance to the teachers.
It’s sad that it has been so long since our public schools effectively taught children that we think that schools who start teaching children are gaming the system.

LOL. Truth. Sadly, the teachers have themselves to blame for this because they keep continue to allow their unions to be the utter shitstorms they are.
The way the unions, and by extension, the teachers acted during COVID really poisoned the well with me.
That said, until the teachers and the unions finally accept the concept of differential pay (different pay levels based upon the demand for type of teacher), schools will likely never escape mediocrity.
It may seem "unfair" but the bottom line reality is that $$ it takes to hire a solid Calculus teacher is different than the money it takes to fine an equally qualified Engish or History teacher.

Mississippi just said to hell with it. We don't care how much your mama comes up to the school and complains, we don't care how old you are or if you've finished puberty unlike all the 10 year olds around you that haven't even started yet. If you can't read, you don't get to go to the 5th grade. No ifs, ands or buts. Read at a 4th grade level or pay your frickin rent, car note and child's support in grade school while the other kids play Minesweeper and Fortnight. You don't get to attend Middle School and frick up the learning environment for the others cause you're lazy and have worthless parents.

Yeap.
Problem 1a) is literacy. And teachers are having to be dragged kicking and screaming into a phonics based approach.
Problem 1b) is school discipline. And that isn’t teachers’ fault. That’s Department of Education’s fault. And lawyers.

This one is just mind boggling to me. How on Earth did teachers ever get sold AND BELIEVE IN the "whole language" nonsense? It's shite like that where I just want to laugh in their faces when they say you MUST have a teaching degree to teach.

The article has zero analysis of what the southern states have done to improve educational outcomes. Also, getting rid of DEI isn’t a “scattershot distraction” as the author claims. Getting rid of DEI helps focus schools on the basic building blocks of education.

Every Education college (almost) preached it with the fervor of a 1920’s Pentecostal Evangelist. The Narrative behind whole language, That the inimitable style, and Grace of the individual teacher can shine through and lead children to the joys of literacy by sheer force of personality, is the shite the feeds the dreams of woke white girls everywhere. It is ever so much more fun than slogging through “see Dick and Jane run.”

I’m really proud of my home state
We are making strides and what we have been able to do is a miracle and a testament to what a hardline it should be to be able to read in elementary school

One of my favorite education stories came from a friend whose school had suspended a problem student from the elementary multiple times for radical and violent outbursts.
The school district receive a letter from the OIG for the department of education that asserted that the school might be targeting the student because of his racial and ethnic background. That was news to the school as they thought he was white. He was indigenous (at least enough to qualify as such).
And once the school district forwarded the information to the OIG that the student had enrolled as White, the witchhunt investigation was over.

Sorry. I said OIG and it was more likely OCR.

Texas needs to be better. The amount of money the county steals from me every year is ridiculous . 3rd highest property taxes in the nation.
