... are doing so well that improving statistically would be difficult.
The key is in an early paragraph that said,
"What’s driving these results? A commitment to basic skills, especially through phonics-based early-literacy instruction, and rigorous classroom materials."
Phonics based, noooooo.
"Sounding out" words? That can't possibly work.
Black kids doing much better with a return to basics? But, BASICS is a part of systemic racism, right?
They should leave the woke karens out of decision making positions in education. Schools should stop hiring "education professionals" who are 23 years old with no life experience and with a degree from Oberlin in early childhood development and women's studies. Who are morbidly obese with tatoos, blue hair, more nose rings than nostrils, a pride flag in the classroom and a bad attitude.
Basics, a radical new or is it old, approach to teaching kids.
