First Common Core High School Grads Worst-Prepared For College In 15 Years

For the third time in a row since Common Core was fully phased in nationwide, U.S. student test scores on the nation’s broadest and most respected test have dropped, a reversal of an upward trend between 1990 and 2015. Further, the class of 2019, the first to experience all four high school years under Common Core, is the worst-prepared for college in 15 years, according to a new report.

The National Assessment of Educational Progress is a federally mandated test given every other year in reading and mathematics to students in grades four and eight. (Periodically it also tests other subjects and grade levels.) In the latest results, released Wednesday, American students slid yet again on nearly every measure.

Reading was the worst hit, with both fourth and eighth graders losing ground compared to the last year tested, 2017. Eighth graders also slid in math, although fourth graders improved by one point in math overall. Thanks to Neal McCluskey at the Cato Institute, here’s a graph showing the score changes since NAEP was instituted in the 1990s.

Politics led us down this rabbit hole, guaranteeing us generations of illiteracy and more easily fooled citizens.

First off, that is becasue Common core hasn't made it up to the college level, so they have to know the old way of how to do math and everything else until it catches up... But like I said years ago, this was going to happen becasue they did the old frog in boiling water trick on you morons... They did it grade by grade so you wouldn't give a damn to stop it... How look you can;t even get into or graduate college becasue of it...

But as I said before, common core was created for 2 reasons...
1)To create a new industries (bill gates calls it a new industry, and since he is the majority in donating or funding, it is what ever he calls it)
2)To make your kids even more stupid, but smart enough to be a good little slave, hitting that red or green button to start or stop the robot who will take everyone jobs eventually... I guess you moronic pieces of shit don't give a damn becasue it hasn't affected you yet, or because your out of school...

Well I didn't see you at any of the County Council meetings or the Board of Education meetings speaking out against this?? So I guess you are the real moronic piece of shit.

School is a babysitter. Parents don't care that the education is lacking. They just don't want to have to deal with their kids.
