Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

NYS changes minimum scores for student proficiency in math, English
Committee tells Board of Regent the lower scores are the "new normal"
They're going to lower the bar.

Problem solved.
babysitteruh, teacher. The state of the US public education system is just brutal. We spend far more per student than anyone else with far below first world results. The solution? More CRT, DEI and just lowering proficiency requirements. Dems in Oregon have eliminated them completely for high school graduation requirements. But just "temporarily". If you asked the dazzler why he votes dem he would just say that "they are the more fiscally responsible alternative"https://ace.mu.nu/
New York will permanently lower math and reading standards for students, because Democrats are just so devoted to education and just so good at it, too!
From the Times-Union: Stupidity is the "new normal."
New York will make it easier for students to reach "proficiency" on state math and English language arts tests, calling last year's lower scores the "new normal."
A scoring committee that reports to the Board of Regents said Monday that they must take into account the results of last year's tests for students in grades three through eight. Some schools posted shocking results -- in Schenectady, no eighth grader who took the math test scored as proficient. And the scores for the third through eighth grade tests throughout the state were much lower in 2022 than in 2019, a result no doubt of the absence of in-person learning during the first year and beyond of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The committee handles all scoring, not just this year's changes.
And keep in mind: New York's previous standards weren't exactly up there with Japan's or Korea's, either.
And now they're even lower. Because the leadership and main body of our teacher corps just wants to talk about their own pronouns and get validation from children that they're not getting from their fathers, and because they were lazy and status-grubbing and demanded to "teach from home" like the white collar workers they envy.
Raise em up stupid and win those elections
