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.
RE: They can’t get better teachers?
Like the Police, They’ve all fled NY to other states.
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.
Just watch season 4 on The Wire.
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.
No. Anyone with an Ed degree is worthless outside of working in fast food, and even there it’s questionable.
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.
I think our young people were failing even before the lockdown. We’ve got kids getting into University now who never would have done a few decades ago.
Lockdown just contributed more degradation to the long, general downgrading of educational standards that we’ve seen over decades.
so if your kid’s stupid, move to NY...
Good for them.

Well, when you had a math class, you learned math. A sample of directly out of one of the woke ‘math’ books banned in FL was posted a few weeks ago. The students were asked who Maya Angelou is, where Maya Anelou was born, etc. It may have been appropriate for an English class, or a social studies class, but it had nothing to do with math.
They had the common sense to remove the book from the schools in FL. I have no doubt they’re using it, or books like it in NY math classes. Then, when the kids have to take an Achievement Test and answer math questions, they have no clue. Why would they? They’ve been learning about Maya Angelou instead of long division.
Just give ‘em all 100%. That’s equity, right?
You had New York State Regents exams years ago. A Regents diploma was even better than a NY State diploma. Not as good as a NY State former highway department worker who got free rides on the Tappan Zee Bridge and free rides on the Thruway.
