Parents, Are You Listening? The State of Our Education System
This is the Daily Note. I'm James A. Brown. The latest national science test scores are in and they're brutal.
8th grade scores have dropped to levels we haven't seen since 2009. 12th grade math and reading are down 2. That's more than a decade of progress gone poof. But here's what gets me. I think we all saw this coming.
I feel for th-e parents who told tales in the last decade of homework that made no sense. Watching their kids struggle with things that used to be routine at a pandemic where our kids learn little from school. And here we are.
We spent years being told everything was fine while families watched their kids fall behind. Our education system isn't just flawed, it's broken. And I have a feeling there's an avalanche of stats like this to come. So what do you think?
