Or do you think it's a coincidence that when they give examples of improved scores, they only give them for newly opened private schools. Wouldn't the average or median reading level for the state, compared to the old level for the state, be the metric that shows.. reading level for the state? When they do give a number for the state, that number is not a score - it's a rank. Do you know how rank works? It's not a measure of how good you're doing compared to how you were doing before. It's a measure of how good you're doing now compared to someone else now.
Yes, looking at a very basic fact and recognizing someone completely misrepresented that fact, makes them feel comparatively smarter than the person who does not recognize that even after it was explained to them. Now your comment - it did not make me smarter. It did increased my rank on that chart though.
You are very smart indeed. Thanks for letting a dumb mere mortal like me know that. I am grateful to have interacted with the Einstein of our time…/s
The reason I'm talking about politics, is because people who think and behave like you, well there's a template y'all follow, and a group y'all belong to.
the comment that was flagged, was up by quite a bit first before the rooster call. hence my edit. no one cares if y'all flag or downvote. i suggest you just go through my comments and flag them all to, ya know, own the libs. it does literally nothing.
the stolen election is that way>>
Please go to Reddit to continue your in-group/outgroup hullabaloo...I'm not even American, lol, but you're here accusing me of owning the libs and caring about the election.
What I'm seeing in the article, is a lot of private schools popped up, and the kids going to those schools get higher scores.
What I'm seeing on the chart is two things. Redneck paradise getting higher scores after orange mango gets in office. That's because the GOP destroys public schools, and now even has people w/o a degree or teaching cert, teaching in public schools. The teachers either move out of state or go to teach at private schools.
What these states have discovered, is pocketing property tax dollars meant for public education, and keeping the poor uneducated, so they vote redneck when they grow up.
Let's not forget that the chart is of rank, not scores. If I have the same score but a bunch of other redneck states get worse, my rank moves up.
This is not a positive story
