[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/03/us/us-history-test-scores.html Ironically, NCLB resulted in reallocation of instruction time away from social studies and science, towards reading and math… but those latter scores are down too!! I got 4/5, missed the Henry Hudson one.[/quote] These are public school averages. Remember that public schools are required to take almost everyone, so their averages can never be as good as private schools or homeschoolers. Our local Title 1 school has lots of kids with the IQ of a slug and low test averages, but the spread of the scores is quite large with lots of other kids who do really well. If you aren't in a public, or you are but your kid is not one of those that has the IQ of a slug, it's not worth getting worked up over.[/quote]
