[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Mississippi miracle happened in a Republican state. It’s one of the best turnarounds we’ve ever seen, and it didn’t require crippling Mississippi’s budget.[/quote]

You are probably getting your opinion from a debunked LA Times opinion column which tried to discredit the Mississippi miracle.  Here is the rebuttal:

Did you read it?

This person is saying that there was no miracle and that the big gains were NOT from the Literacy-Based Promotion Act...
 [/quote]At the end of the day the gains are still real and not a result of fraud. Credit should be given where it is due, and lessons should be learned from this.[/quote]

Yes, they made a variety of changes that have improved test scores. It'd be interesting to see longer-term analysis on SAT scores, graduation rates, etc.

But as the article says, there was no "miracle".
