ST. PAUL, Minn. — School disruptions caused by the coronavirus pandemic resulted in significant drops in math and reading test scores for Minnesota students, according to state education officials.
The Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments results released Friday show proficiency rates fell 11 percentage points to 44% in math and 7 points to 53% in reading, since 2019.
“The statewide assessment results confirm what we already knew — that the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted our students’ learning and they need our help to recover,” Education Commissioner Heather Mueller said.

So they were at home with nothing to do all day but study, and their test scores decreased. Interesting.
The only good thing to come from lockdowns was opening many parents eyes as to what was being taught, and how homeschooling is far superior.
And we're paying these people how much?
In SC public schools were told not to fail any student for any class. Well what do you know, the graduation rate increased because students who would have failed were passed along. Now the State Department of Ed is trying to pat itself on the back. SMH
