> California governor’s office candidate Matt Mahan told me about the Third Grade Reading Gate when I first met him last year. It’s how I knew he was legit and focused on the right things.
The same evidence (the only evidence) could have been presented as:
Mississippi is doing great for its kids. We should all follow them.
Instead it’s completely unnecessarily frames as “the political side that I don’t like is ruining everything”. There are instances (too many, unfortunately) where this is true. This isn’t one of them. In comparable Blue/Red states (CA vs TX, NY vs FL) the blue states are doing better, even if u think the blue state performances are also inexcusable.
Have people become incapable of talking normally and need to force everything into an enemy/ally frame? Or is this just rage bait, or ironically, the author “virtue” signaling to their own political tribe
> In early education, teachers told her to “stay in a corner and sleep” or “draw pictures for them.” In high school, she relied on speech-to-text programs for every assignment. Teachers knew. Administrators knew. Nobody did anything. Now she’s a freshman at UConn studying public policy — and she still can’t read the textbooks.

Bah!yeah the moment I saw

that put the rest of it in perspective for me
Should be noted her actual lawsuit did not mention anything about not being able to read, it's suing her case manager for bullying

There seem to be two lawsuits. The more relevant one is that she is apparently now suing the school for negligence.

Failed or followed spirit of No Child Left Behind Act? That was Republican legislation if I remember correctly.
