But the teachers were “kept safe” from the CCP-cooties.

I guess this means that only 10% of NY State high school graduates can read their diplomas...rather than 13%.
“NY State test scores worse than they seem, analysis finds”
I guess that I don’t understand the problem - public schools are FREE, so you’re getting what you pay for. Not too confusing to me and, no doubt, FReepers at least know to stay clear of them. Really no different than public housing, which I’m sure that FReepers also stay away from.
The dumbing down of our kids in forced government schools goes on unabated.
Some parts of the problem of low proficiency are identified in the last paragraph of the article: teachers’s unions, Common Core, parents, and high-stakes. Groomer teachers and administrators are missing.
I’m sitting here thinking everything is broken, but I’ll focus on one problem, high-stakes. Exactly what type of expectations exist when a proficiency exam is high-stakes? I can only surmise a whole lot of people have extremely low expectations. Expectations are relative and they can drastically change attitudes. I would expect my children to score in the top percentile of the exam without any preparation because they were expected to excel everyday. The exam is merely a diversion from the regular school day. It’s a ‘check-in’. The everyday expectation is mastery of the day’s lessons. After awhile mastery becomes routine and in the range of low to high expectations, it is the normal expectation. That leaves room for higher expectations in other things.
Statistics don’t lie, but liars use statistics.
Any government organization run by Demonicrats has been weaponized into producing lies, murder, and treason.
What’s with the “refuse to take the exams”? They get a -0- and that’s what is written down as their score.
Keep paying for failure, suckers.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
Make no mistake, the Department of Education is designed to spread disinformation. They want students ignorant. The System depends on it.
They need us stupid and dependent.
Missing were the statistics by location.
What were the statistics from the Black enclaves of New York City
So school administrators get evaluated on how well students do on the tests. But students can refuse the tests. If I’m an administrator I will do my best to be sure the lowest performing students “refuse” to take the tests.
What a joke.
That’s because the “tesis is wasis! tsk! tsk!”

While not mentioned what makes it worse is that the so-called level which is considered proficiency for any grade is horribly low compared to 50 years ago or even 20 years ago.
Thus when over 50% of the students are not proficient in 8th grade math what you’re saying is that over 50% of the students can’t perform fourth grade math in the real world.
NY is the East Cast home base for the corrupt teachers unions. Hochul fights charter schools and wants to keep her schools the most expensive and lowest performing in America.
When the idiots gets guns, the “intelligensia” will be exterminated.
