National Math/Reading Scores tank...

You clearly don't know what DEI is nor how it can be incorporated into a maths lesson.

My two long-term friends who are 30-year experience science, maths and English teachers do know. Also, one teaches sight-challenged and blind kids. The other translates school texts into Braille documents. They probably know better than me, which is why I asked them. Seems they know better than you too. ;)

Anybody else think our Bush Pilot is full of you know what?
I find it sick he is actually rooting for schools to be shut down.
And I find his claime a 2 year old can read to be, frankly, unbeleivable.

lenient grading

The Economist (29 October to 4 November 2022) discussed the precipitous drop in scores on page 27: "Educators in some circles still shy away from talk of 'learning loss.' They prefer to say that children are suffering 'unfinished instruction' or 'interrupted learning;' they insist that children learned other types of lessons during the pandemic. Parents are not always pushing them. Only 9% think their child's learning will not be back on track within a year or two, according to a survey for Education Next, a journal. Two fifths think that they never fell behind. Lenient grading during remote learning may have given them false assurance."

This subject has a root cause.
In the 60's we did rote learning of times tables, but this has been abandoned in NZ at least. As far as I know.
 
Actually I still remember chanting
One ones are one.
One ones are one.
Two ones are two
One twos are two.

Etc

And so on.
 
NAEP 2024 Update.

For math, 4th graders at 75% distribution recovered to 2019 levels but at the 25% distribution they declined further from both the 2019 and 2022 levels. Reading generally declined more.

This is obviously caused by even more DEI, or AI, or EMI, or perhaps the FBI. Either way it's a liberal plot to dumb down the population so they can take control.

But don't worry, Trump's on it. He's kicking the DEI out of education, helping billionaire tech bros kick the liberal bias out of AI, banning wind turbines and defunding solar panels and EVs which emit brain-destroying electromagnetic waves, and repurposing the FBI to sanitize the Epstein files neutralize the real enemies of the State - liberals.

By this time next year you can bet those math and reading scores will be through the roof!
 
Trump’s push to return religion to US schools is sure to help with maths,

“One begat ah hah hah ha, two begats ah hah hah ha, three begats ah hah hah ha. . . etc ah hah hah ha . . .”
 
Just read that in Idaho, a bill have introduced which would simply shut down all public schools. Theguy introuducing it is a rabid libertarian and has managed to get into a importnat poisition in the Idaho GOP.

I just still can’t figure out why it seems so impossible to just try having more teachers and smaller class sizes. Whenever I look at a school staff budget it looks like if they get any more money after taking care of straight up building maintanence it goes to more admin positions and I don’t really understand how those help the situation. When I was a kid class sizes already seemed too big to help any individuals and it doesn’t seem like that has improved. Or did they try that and I missed it?

I get the impression that to many TRump supporters, science and math are the work of the devil anyway.
