It seems like what Dr. Wright did in holding kids back who needed to be held back at third grade before it's too late is working. They're getting the reinforcement and re-education they need and getting back on track.

It's far better to hold back a few kids for that one year they're behind than to set them up for failure by never stopping to address the learning gaps and shuffling them along and watching as they continue to fail year after year.

Why is 3rd grade retention a bad thing in your eyes?

Wow. What a shock.

Maryland, unbelievably, has fallen behind Mississippi in 4th grade reading levels so she's being brought in to save our sad state of afffairs:

A large part of Dr. Wright’s success in Mississippi has been attributed to a law passed by the Mississippi State legislature, in 2013, which mandated that every third-grade student must read at grade level before moving to fourth grade. These laws are often referred to as third-grade reading retention policies. They say, if a student cannot read at grade level, they either repeat third grade or receive interventions to catch up.

That law, which Wright supported, has been credited with helping jump-start the Mississippi Miracle.

Why is it called the Mississippi Miracle? Because when Dr. Wright got to Mississippi, that state was one of the lowest performing in the nation when it came to student test scores. But not anymore. In many cases, Mississippi now outperforms Maryland.

According to federal test scores, in 2013, the year the law passed, Mississippi students scored, on average, a 209 in fourth-grade reading. That was far below the national average of 221 and even farther behind Maryland at 232. But by 2022, the most recent year for results, Mississippi had passed Maryland and the national average. Mississippi students now score a 217 in fourth-grade reading. The national average sits at 216, and Maryland has fallen to 212.

Dr. Wright avoids committing to implementing a similar retention policy at this point in MD, but that's because she knows the politics of our state and that the equity/social justice warriors will fight it tooth and nail, even though retention, standards and holding kids to them completely turned Mississippi around.

Which is what we used to do in MD and MCPS, because the social justice/equity warriors decided rules and standards were tools of white supremacy that had to be eradicated.

Carrie Wright is from MCPS. She knows how to cook the books.

Yes the only real path forward in MD is to have more Advanced English for all programs.
