Back at the beginning of April, we told you that Mississippi was leading the way in improved reading test scores. They brought back phonics and changed their approach to reading instruction. And it's paying dividends for students in Mississippi schools. It's also working in math.
Now both Mississippi and Louisiana are beating California and New York in math testing:
Leading Report (@LeadingReport) ~ BREAKING: Mississippi, Louisiana fourth- and eighth-grade math scores surpass New York and California in 2024, per NAEP-adjusted results.
J (@ARaised_Eyebrow) ~ In fairness, 4th and 8th graders in California and New York are still trying to figure out if they're a boy or a girl.
And therein lies the problem.
Ava- I Love My USA! (@WEdwarda) ~ We are actually focused on education, not indoctrination.
Funny how that works.
Jeff (@jbpeery00) ~ Amazing what happens when a school teaches reading, writing, and arithmetic and doesn’t just shove students through.
Ryan (@Ryanwsprague) ~ Blue state education -
They think math and literacy are racist, so they won't be embarrassed.
Stinson Norwood (@snorman1776) ~ I wonder why?
