Damn. This is one jacked up report. I don’t care who you are, you got to admit this is an epic fail. According to an article from the website Wirepoints, not one student can do math at grade level at 53 schools in Illinois. And when it comes to reading at grade level? Not one single student can do that at grade level at 30 schools. Holy crap. Just heads up if you live in Illinois, whatever it is your trying? Stop. Whatever ’empowering’, reimagined curriculum you’re using? Throw that shit right out the window. It is a trainwreck. And if you’re wondering where the info came from on the State’s total failure? The stats are from the Illinois State Board of Education! Now there is a chance they too suck at math as they are located in Illinois but we imagine they had someone come and check their work. This is outrageous! Parents should be furious! And if you think this is all due to lockdowns and covid? These stats are just marginally worse than before lockdowns.

Here’s the link to the whole article at Wirepoints. It’s a really strong piece. Highly recommended.
