Lockdown Disaster: Reading, Math Scores for Middle Schoolers Plummet to Lowest Level in Decades
Breitbart ^ | 06/22/2023 | ALANA MASTRANGELO

The average reading and math test scores for U.S. 13-year-olds have plummeted since 2020, according to data from National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). The decline in math skills for children this age is “the single largest decline” in the past half century according to experts.

The average mathematics score for 13-year-olds declined nine points between the 2019 – 2020 and 2022 – 2023 school years, and the average reading score declined four points over the same time period of time, according to the NAEP.

“Green shoots,” a term used to describe signs of recovery during a downturn, “have not materialized, as we continue to see worrisome signs about student achievement and well-being more than two years after most students returned for in-person learning,” NCES Commissioner Peggy G. Carr said.

But they know all about butt f**king each other.

Public government school indoctrination centers are child abuse.

There’s a lot of truth to that.

This was borne out in the late summer of 2020, when my state and local school districts were trying to figure out if/how they were going to reopen schools for the 2020-21 school year.

The public comments and pressure from the parents told me everything I need to know about the state of our country.

Nobody gave a sh!t about reopening the classrooms. All they cared about was the fall high school SPORTS schedule.

Cyril M. Kornbluth wrote the science fiction story The Marching Morons about the last intelligent people having to care for and protect the multitudes of low intelligence people who were the result of dumb people having a lot of children.

Cars dashboards said the dumb people were going at 70mph but it was really 10mph or something. Haven’t read it in a while.

Just as planned.

An unintelligent public is an easily controlled public.

Scores have been going down. They're just using covid as their go to "cover my butt story".

I don't want to hear that they need pay raises. They chose that profession among many that they could've chosen from, No one forced them.

The teacher's haven't been teaching for quite a while. With all the propaganda they teach all day, I'm surprised it isn't lower.

Go back to the basics and scores will go up and stop sending the reading, writing and arithmetic home for moms and dads to do.

Also, stop letting these teachers go into work looking so unkept and unprofessional. They may start having more respect for themselves if they did.

“The lockdown accelerated a process that was already in progress.”

You’re correct.
I was talking to a 28 year old college graduate today about the Titan submarine case and she didn’t know what the word “implosion” meant and why the media insisted on using this “made up word”

A college graduate.

“They are beyond stupid.”

I’m afraid so.

The rest of the states will not learn from California’s mistake but adopt them. California used to be a conservative state as was Oregon and Washington state until East Coast liberals moved to escape the Hell they created and injected the virus into new hosts.
They now will sicken Texas, Florida and other conservative, southern states.
The era of Americans sending humans into outer space are gone and the world will bow down to their new masters, the Chinese.
