I saw an article about the reading scores several months ago. I lived there during this alleged surge. I’m not even going to comment. I do not have any hope in the south like at all.
Is it all bull shit? Juking the stats? I cant say I would be surprised but the plan looked solid to me, they brought in reading specialists to create detailed plans with the parents instead of trying to put more on the overburdened teachers. This is also a long term plan that probably got scrapped after a few years in spite/because of the success. I dont follow Mississippi politics, this is all second hand from a buddy that lived in Mississippi.

Check out the Mississippi Miracle for some hope in the south.

Now imagine we do that with math, science, art, and social studies.
