U.S. students in most states and across almost all demographic groups have experienced troubling setbacks in both math and reading, according to an authoritative national exam released on Monday, offering the most definitive indictment yet of the pandemic’s impact on millions of schoolchildren.
In math, the results were especially devastating, representing the steepest declines ever recorded on the National Assessment of Educational Progress, known as the nation’s report card, which tests a broad sampling of fourth and eighth graders and dates to the early 1990s.

And all with record spending on “Education.”
Where does all the $ go????.
The only reason that I’m not sure why this happened is because there are so many things screwing up schools (New Math, COVID Lockdowns, pervert teachers teaching gender studies instead of math, etc.) that its hard to choose.
the lowest common denominator is winning.
All due to the lockdowns and they may never catch up.
The stupider you are, the easier you are to control.
Reading is for fags, anyway.
All because blacks can’t do it...
"Those who can't ...... teach."
Math should be about the easiest subject to teach remotely, since it essentially consists of memorizing a lot of facts and practicing a variety of rule-based techniques.
The failure seems to be a lack of enforcement of doing homework, which is how math is really learned.

They say it's because of the pandemic. But it's all because of government action and fear-mongering. It didn't have to be this way, but this is the way they wanted it.

If you take the number of COVID variants that existed in 2021
an multiply it by the proven LIES that Tony Fauci has spoken since 2020, how many masks would it take...."
.
Never mind.
Meatheads with Diplomas!
Gee, all that $$$ they said was needed to improved “education”
Teachers’ unions and politics. Unbridled immigration. “Magnet” schools Judicial interference CRT “Diversified classrooms” and the usual Dim societal results of homo/trans, illegitimacy, drugs, crime, et al
Who’s surprised?
I bet that doing so would turn out to be 'racist'...
It’s not cheap teaching kids about systemic racism, gay sex, and drag shows.
Now do homeschool vs. public school scores.
