Fake news. A few years back, I looked at the standardized test results, broken out by the race of the U.S students. Guess what? White American students and Asian American students were right at the top of the rankings.
“White American students and Asian American students were right at the top of the rankings.”
Interesting observation — the changing mix of students’ cultures needs to be given up front, not in the small pring.
Anyway, lack of growth in scores isn’t the important thing. To paraphrase, “math and reading scores don’t grow to the sky”. Also, the brain doesn’t grow to the sky.
The important thing is that they’re adequately prepared for the next steps in their education or employment, and how they stack up with students in other countries.
