They can’t get better teachers?
Proving either the bureaucrats want the drop to continue, or they’re too stupid to be allowed in any position with decision-making authority. Especially those who want the authority without the responsibility of being held accountable.
Pakistan and India may have better scores that New York State now
lockdowns crushed our young people...blame the pro lockdown folks....they own this.
That’s too bad. I believe my NYS education was top notch — but I graduated over 50 years ago.
Well,, democrats never did cotton to slaves who could read anyways.
At present those broken pipes lose about 26% of the gas that enters the networks of pipes underground. Take a morning walk on your neighborhood street at sunrise when the air is still. Especially in summer months. You can smell gas everywhere. Once the air begins to heat up and rise, traffic stirs it up, the breeze begins, it disappears. But look at the trees on the streets. Die back. Yellowing leaves. Stunted leaves. They are getting poisoned by the leaking gas lines under the streets.
The Empfire State. Over $25,000 per pupil in our school system, and in the district next door my Daughter in Law has to beg for contributions. Sickening.
I taught for decades in an urban school district (not in New York). And here’s how we handled falling test scores. The minimum district test score became 50%. So should a student score less than 50% on any test, the district’s computer software automatically changed his score to 50%.
So let’s say that a kid showed up for a test, and he didn’t bother to answer a single question. He left the paper blank. He scored 50 points out of 100.
We teachers hated that. Every one of us did! It didn’t matter. Test scores went up. And the superintendent could brag on TV about how great the district was doing.
It was all a sham, of course.
so if your kid’s stupid, move to NY...
Good for them.

Anybody with any braina is out of NY.
By that some logic they could drop the state crime rate to zero by repealing all the criminal statutes on the books.
Ironically ... NY is one of the most difficult states in which to home-school.
I believe that home-schooled children there are required to submit & follow a set/detailed curriculum (to be suggested & approved by the local school system) — they must submit quarterly reports as well as have the children take a yearly test/assessment & they must score above a certain percentage or face being forced back into the public school “system”. No “fudging” the results of those tests allowed ...
how low can they go ?
I thought they already get a passing grade for writing their name on the paper.
“New York state has decided to permanently lower the math and reading proficiency standards”
Yeah, that’ll solve the problem.
yeehaw! That logic makes my head spin.
