[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s also a test of 4th graders and[b] Mississippi makes a lot of kids repeat 3rd grade. [/b]Which means that a lot of kids in the Mississippi data are a year older, and have been in school a year longer, than kids from other states. [/quote] Agree. Other states should pay attention. [/quote] Holding a lot of kids back means either your graduation rate goes down or your costs go up. Most voters care more about graduation rates than 4th grade NAEP scores, and care more about costs (ie, taxes) than either. [/quote] The cost of sending illiterate kids through your k-12 system, then having to pay for remedial classes in both community and state colleges or seeing them on welfare are higher.[/quote]
