My daughter got a perfect score on her I-READ test last year.
Kinda what happens when Republicans attack education every chance they get.
Hence why my 4th grade teacher daughter said, "I don't have time to indoctrinate your children! I'm trying to teach them to read!"Today's students are scoring historically low in reading:
from the article: "In fourth-grade reading, students who score below the basic level on NAEP cannot sequence events from a story or describe the effects of a character’s actions. In eighth grade, students who score below basic cannot determine the main idea of a text or identify differing sides of an argument."
Regardless of what the reasons are, it doesn't bode well for the future if a sizeable chunk of a generation can't read well and discern the meanings of what they are reading. I'd say it's devolution rather than evolution.By all means, let's blame schools, Trump, the pandemic, parents, etc.
Or, we could recognize that they way kids learn today isn't by reading. They learn by what they are exposed to the most - video and very short blips on social media. Or, learning from listening to adults, like parents and teachers. Reading as a source of information or entertainment is down the list.
It's evolution.

Yes.Regardless of what the reasons are, it doesn't bode well for the future if a sizeable chunk of a generation can't read well and discern the meanings of what they are reading. I'd say it's devolution rather than evolution.
EDIT: Good point about listening skills, too.
