US Education Crisis: NAEP Scores Decline, Political Battles Escalate

NAEP scores reveal declining proficiency in math and reading. Political clashes intensify as education and learning results worsen. 'Mississippi Miracle' contrasts with national trends. Achievement gaps widen despite billions spent.

NAEP Scores: A Grim Reality

When US Assistant of Education and learning Linda McMahon released the current ratings for eighth-grade scientific research and 12th-grade analysis and mathematics in the 2024 National Assessment of Educational Progress last month, she described them as “ruining.”.

Pretty subtle example there– less than three weeks after Charlie Kirk was assassinated by a young leftist of the kind radicalized in Weingarten’s classrooms that inscribed anti-fascist messages on his bullets.

New York is not quite as poor but, still, two thirds of fourth-graders are not proficient in mathematics and reading and 12th-grade ratings have actually gone down to degrees not seen since 1992 in analysis and 2005 in math.

Contrasting Education Results

What a contrast to the “Mississippi Miracle” where children have gone from last place in the country to first place (when adjusted for socioeconomic factors) (when changed for in the country in reviewing proficiency) after the state implemented phonics-based literacy reforms.

Politics vs. Education

The head of state of the American Federation of Teachers is on tour to peddle her new book, “Why Fascists Fear Educators”– yet another instance of prioritizing harmful national politics over education and learning from this Marxist fossil. And also fattening her own purse.

The fact there is any argument in any way is due completely to Weingarten and the instructors unions– and their inextricable links with the Democrats that run the cities with the worst education and learning and the most awful young people criminal activity.

Achievement Gap Widens

“In spite of investing billions every year on many K-12 programs, the achievement space is expanding, and much more senior high school senior citizens are performing listed below the basic criteria in math and analysis than ever.”.
