The top 10% of students are doing as well as they did a decade ago. The bottom 10% of students are doing much, much worse. This is a national crisis. We need to treat it with the seriousness it deserves. nationsreportcard.gov/highlights/ush…

How I dealt with my frustration: washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/…
apple.news/AAfhXsKbjR4CTU… “No physical school meant no school for weeks and months on end.” Yep. And not only in disadvantaged districts. APSVA vanished in 2020, not to re-emerge until…six months later. Brilliant.
Misha, a non-verbal teen with Down’s Syndrome, didn’t understand why his family had to flee Mariupol this year. To placate him, his mother told him they were travelling to meet John Cena. Cena heard… and went to Amsterdam to oblige. Just brilliant.

About 35 years ago, June 10, 1988, I taught 6th grade for my last day. Packed up to move from Sac, CA to Chicago, to pursue a PhD. Sad to leave a job I loved, excited for what lay ahead. UChicago, Harvard, and Brookings brought so many awesome opportunities. Forever thankful.

👀This is a must read! "One pillar of Mississippi’s new strategy was increasing reliance on phonics and a broader approach to literacy called the science of reading, which has been gaining ground around the country; Mississippi was at the forefront of this movement. Wright…
My takeaway is that if Mississippi can pull this off in a state with the highest child poverty rate in America, with low education spending, no state has an excuse. We can all do better, and we owe it to our kids and our country's future. Here's the piece: nytimes.com/2023/05/31/opi…

“Kelly…said these history and civics results should spark “a national conversation around the need for urgency and supporting this group of learners”” History and civics scores are down on two key national tests chalkbeat.org/2023/5/3/23709…
@rpondiscio From the mid-1980s NAEP history test.
@marcportermagee It's unserious, and it's too bad because there is a reading and knowledge angle here that could be somewhat bipartisan. Efforts to improve literacy and implement knowledge rich curricula are happening in red and blue states despite the noise.
New NAEP results are out and they are really bad: “About 40 percent of eighth graders scored ‘below basic’ in U.S. history last year, compared with 34 percent in 2018 and 29 percent in 2014” nytimes.com/2023/05/03/us/…
