Here's how a deep blue Democrat run state fixes their poor public education outcomes

[T. A. Gardner]

Illinois in order to address their high rates of failing students who can't read, write, or do math at grade level has just decided to lower their standards! The new standards will, at least on paper, make just over half of students in Illinois public schools "proficient" on state standardized tests. How's that for great pubic education?

Illinois lowers benchmark for proficiency on state math and reading tests

Illinois education officials said benchmarks were set too high and implied students were not college and career ready when they were. Now, the state has approved lowering those benchmarks in math and English language arts.

It’s considered child neglect to send your kid to a public school in Louisiana. I have to wonder if it’s like that in those other states.

Louisiana is the best of the worst in that screen grab.

Louisiana is the best of the worst in that screen grab.

The public school students in Louisiana are almost exclusively minorities.
