[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the purpose is to force school systems, school administrators, and teachers to change how reading is taught. Failing to promote 60% of a class would be untenable, so the schools will have to overhaul their programs to prevent it.[/quote] This. And Mississippi overhauled the state reading curriculum first, to switch to literacy instruction that was actually effective. They banned the Lucy Calkins, Balanced Literacy, Whole Language crap as the first step. They retrained teachers who had been taught those bogus "methods". That state also mandated extra attention and focus on making sure dyslexic or other special needs kids actually were given extra and appropriate literacy instruction, such as O-G. [/quote]
