Education

High school seniors still receive terrible education.

"High school seniors, whose school years have encompassed the sweeping education initiatives of two presidents, failed to demonstrate improvement in math or reading on a national exam.
Only 38 percent of those tested in 2013 scored as proficient readers on the National Assessment of Educational Progress, known as the "Nation's Report Card," released Wednesday by the Education Department. Three-quarters failed to show math proficiency. The scores were little changed from 2009, when the test was last given."

The problem isn't in the details. The problem is inherent in socialism itself.

""Stagnation is unacceptable," David Driscoll, chairman of the board that administers the test, said in a statement. "Achievement at this very critical point in a student's life must be improved to ensure success after high school.""

Apparently it's not only acceptable, it's a fact.

"The seniors were in the first grade when President George W. Bush signed No Child Left Behind into law. The program called for schools to demonstrate yearly progress and to show that all students are proficient on state standardized tests by 2014. Most states have received waivers under President Barack Obama, whose Race to the Top program has pledged $4.35 billion in state grants in four years to boost education standards."

And none of it matters. Socialists have been reforming education for over 150 years, government schools are still a failure.
