Yes! We can finally cultivate a large, uneducated slave class to work in mines and factories! And even if OSHA is still alive, they won’t be able to read the safety rules and regs!

Three cheers!! [/quote]

Hysterical much?
Dept of Education has always provided little value.

Not if you’re in a dirt poor state at the bottom of the rankings. Do Louisiana and Mississippi have the same school taxes as NJ, Maryland and Massachusetts? Good northeastern school districts will survive this. Places without a base of high warning  property owners are screwed, unless the wealthy in their state want to pony up money to educate the poor.

Mississipi has drastically improved their reading scores by following the science of reading philosophy several years ago while the Dept of Education has been promoting balanced literacy for years and years up until the past year.

According to the Nations Report Card https://www.nationsreportcard.gov/profiles/stateprofile?sfj=NP&chort=1&sub=RED&sj=&st=MN&year=2024R3 in reading for 4th grade on the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) the average score for 4th grade reading was 214. Mississippi's 4th graders were tied for 7th at 219.  Maryland was at 216. 
Highest scores:
Massachusetts	225	
Wyoming	222	
New Jersey	222	
New Hampshire	221	
Colorado	221	
Indiana	220

This is actually quite remarkable since Mississippi has a high percentage of black kids. Most of the high scoring states in that list have very few black students. Mississippi and Florida must be doing some things right to still have decent average test scores despite a large black population.[/quote]

Are you suggesting that black kids are not as good test takers, all things being equal?[/quote]
