“Don’t think the decline didn’t bother us. It really did.”

Translation:

"Quick - send money!"

Yep. Again, part of a true experiment involves using the exact same test.

Can’t compare two different tests from one another.

Any idea that can’t be expressed in 160 characters (max length of a text message) or in a PowerPoint is too complex to fully comprehend for the average college graduate under 25.

You have the answer, spend more money on education and test scores will continue to go down.
We lived in Montgomery county in the late 90’s because of the “good education” system there. Our 1st grade daughter was having trouble reading(outcome based education was the flavor of the month), I asked her teacher about it, she said “don’t worry a lot of other kids are having the same problem” That was the day we became actively involved in our kids education. Needless to say, I consider Montgomery county schools singularly unimpressive.

Are you joking?

Ahhhh yes.
