[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How did Mississippi go from 49th in the nation in reading scores to 9th?[/quote] The NYT Daily did an episode on this which is worth a listen. The numbers are a bit distorted because one of their changes is to hold kids back in 3rd grade if they aren’t reading at a certain level. This means their 4th grade class (when the schools are eval on reading) are all the way readers and the bad readers (the ones kept back) have an extra year of even more personalized instruction. I’m not saying their approach is bad but it does mean that reading has not necessarily improved that much for all kids who are in the same age bucket. [/quote] Yes, the numbers in MS are still not great. But they are better. They are not really high performing.[/quote]
