Welcome to the Conspiracy

"So the point that I was making at the time was that the political dynamic was the driving force between that sectarian violence. And we could try to keep a lid on it,  but if these underlining dynamic continued to bubble up and explode the way they were, then we would be in a difficult situation. I am glad that in fact those political dynamic shifted at the same time that our troops did outstanding work."

Education: The Silent Killer, II

DateWednesday, March 14, 2007 at 07:04PM

Just so everyone is up to date and more depressed than ever, the NAEP (National Assessment of Educational Progress) shows that, on average, seniors failed to make any gains in reading and math on 2005 assessment exams.  These are the highlights:

  • All but the highest level students showed declines in reading compared to 1992 (baseline)
  • Less than 25% of high school seniors are proficient in math.

This is horrible.  Can we fire the unions now? Can we have school choice now?

Doesn't this just show the need for increased school funding?

Don't hit me! I'm just kidding!
