[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, but scores are also down in math, not just reading. In fact, the decline started in 2018, pre-pandemic. So covid doesn't explain it completely, and neither does the lack of reading books (since math is also down, at about the same rate). But the timing corresponds perfectly with the point at which most schools completed their redesigns of curriculum to cater to math and reading tests, as a result of NCLB (and later, Race to the Top). It also corresponds to the rise of vouchers and charters, which were part of NCLB. [/quote] The timing also corresponds with the rise of tech as a classroom instruction and practice tool. 25 years ago students in my school got on a math program twice a week for 15 minutes. It’s easily 30 minutes a day now.[/quote]
