Less than half of Fort Worth students can read at grade level, district reveals
important to note this is an ISD school, meaning it operates independently from the public school system or government

I know you dont have school age kids, but its actually very much normal about 60+% of children in the elementary age in USA and Canada are "behind on grade level"

My kiddo is one of them,my mom saved all my school work and i can see theres a large difference in what they expected from us back in the day to now, they except children to have a much higher reading level than prior years in the last whatever 30 some years,

My kid can read pretty well for a 8 year old he stumbles sometimes on harder longer words, and when he does hes marked "behind on grade level" if he tries the word 2-3 more times he usually gets pretty close but they dont allow for that wiggle room to learn the word,

A ton of these studies are also based off testing scores for educational system so they are tests you take that are specific to the state regulations they make a huge deal of them because testing scores for the government is how many schools get better funding, and often these tests cause alot of anxietyin kids because the teachers dont know anything about them in terms of whats on it, to prepare the kids for them, they cant help younger kids

and most elementary age students k-5 are pretty immature so having an hour long silent testing day also factors into how poorly they do because 6 year old kids have a hard time sitting still and being quiet.


to dig ina little deeper, thsi specific ISD in texas is home to children mostly of Hispanic race meaning they likely already speak 2 different languages, spanish and english and when you add reading and writing into those it can be harder on these kids because they know two languages,

Trump’s plans to axe US education department put marginalized students most at risk, experts warn
The president can’t fully eliminate the federal agency, but an overhaul could disrupt critical services for students who are of color, low-income or LGBTQ+

For many students of color, access to an equitable education is dependent on the initiatives and programs provided by the Department of Education. Among its various functions, the department provides targeted funding for low-income students, collects data on educational outcomes and investigates potential bias – essential functions that help underserved students. But such services stand to be disrupted or ended entirely as Donald Trump plans to dismantle the department during his second tenure.

How California could benefit if Trump actually dissolved the Education Department
If improving test scores is the goal, wouldn’t it make more sense for school funds to be directly controlled by state and district leaders, closer to the students and teachers they serve?
Moreover, why do Democratic-leaning donor states— like California, New York and Massachusetts — relinquish billions in federal tax dollars, only to see a fraction of that money returned for education. This imbalance means that blue states subsidize red states’ schools.
This reason alone should be reason enough for California Democrats to support the elimination of a federal department.

WELCOME BACK RIU!!! During this sites misfortune I found myself wanting to rant a bit on the reign of terror being conducted by our 4 yo rattle in hand,stable genius in chief.I found myself on Forum Forums website and without doing any recon went over to Politics section and launched a rant/apology to all Canadians over his preposterous Canada as a 51st state.I was met w/right wing vitriol and deemed a far left liberal,when I replied I was a pragmatic Dem.,pretty centrist.probably a tick left of Joe Manchin. These people including a staff (mod) some pompous jackoff who identifies in his avatar as a "hawain shirt wearer" really laid in to me,it was surreal in the back and forth I had w/this guy. I stated that Canada was responsible for .5 of a % of fentanyl crossing into the US and he refused to accept it and demanded a link,a link for well known info as any SANE individual not having kool aid running through their veins knows virtually ALL fentanyl entering the USA comes via Mexico and smuggled by US citizens at that. Man what a perspective I gained from that brief foray into hostile territory. This clown said he was a "libertarian" who thinks Trump is doing a good job,well gutting the govt. at the hands of a quasi un-elected oligarch sans any guardrails is great for a NO govt. at all , a pistol on each hip w/a AR slung over the shoulder and the rest will sort itself out may work fine in a everybody knows everybody pop. 157 one stoplight town.I told these nuts I voted Harris,I'd have voted for a FKN watermelon over Trump,and they had me in Antifa land,MAN is this nation FKD. There was NO finding any common ground at all as these Trump minions are 100% down w/every and any ridiculous statement or lawless action he makes/takes,as for THOSE who marked a ballot for "economic reasons" hoping to shave 10-15 dollars of a weekly grocery bill.You have literally condemned your country to a 4 yr shit show of epic previously unknown proportions,in terms of consequences from offended allies,broken govt,and enabled tyrants it will take a savior just to begin repairing the damage if our divided silo'd version of what is actually fact/news electorate can even install such a candidate. We've strayed SO far from responsible politics that I don't even know if there is a way back,there are SO many people complicit in how we got here that it tests one's faith in humanity.From Fox News and the legions of online fake news silos,to a sold out Supreme Court,to gutless R's in the House/Senate forgetting their oaths and going along to get along,to a blindly rammed through Cabinet made up of a rogues gallery of eager minions,to a subservient base of tech billionaires whose prior beliefs have 180'd and now bowed down,on and on and on,the few PATRIOTS who stood up words went on deaf ears. Americans knew the car was going to go off the cliff and yet they eagerly piled in seemingly in a perverse fascination/curiousity to see what America crashing looked like,well one month in how's it look?

When is a little DOG-E not a little DOG-E?

DOGE = a hybrid that combines an illegal Spanish style inquisition/Mc Carthy style commie witch hunt directed at fed. employees conducted by a brilliant yet dark and deranged un-elected technocrat who throws nazi salutes,has billion dollar govt. contracts,turned Twitter into a cesspool,has a posse of completely un-vetted teenage techies assisting in raiding fed offices/files.,is operating w/o any form of congressional oversight,is making completely unverified claims of savings/costs/finances of depts ,has opaque ties w/China,and whose own financial,business,tax history is also sketchy at best w/completely unfettered access ALL of the federal govts. most sensitive files across all depts. WHAT'S WRONG W/THAT???
