What exactly were you expecting? I assume you aren't an educator.

Education is a process with a decade long pipeline. Simply doubling the budget doesn't turn into 2x brighter kids.

I agree that expecting 2x improvement in a year and a half is unreasonable. But I didn't say 2x improvement.

I said zero progress. Something greater than zero should be achievable in 1.5 yeras.
