According to this study, FL schools learned 12% LESS each year from 3rd-8th grade than the national average from 2009 to 2018. WHERE DO YOU SUPPOSE YOUR CHILD'S SCHOOL IS?
Florida's education leaders and elected politicians continue to ignore the findings. Contrast that with the deafening silence and misrepresentation that comes along with the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) which is commonly referred to as the "Nations Report Card".
It is a shame that Gov. DeSantis only looked at the 4th grade students and totally ignored the 8th graders and they have ever since 2003. Now it's too late - you want your children headed to a college - any college with those grades. Better words were never spoken than those of Congressman Andrew Rogers (D-NJ stated in 1868, "I am content, sir, to leave this matter of education where our fathers left it, where the history of our country left it, to the school systems of the different towns, cities and states…[This legislation] proposes to collect such statistics which will give a controlling power over the schools systems of the states.” His words are as true today as they were 155 years ago!
