Really neat stat. The Annie E Casey Foundation runs that report and is a staunch advocate for child welfare and care. Great to see the state's k12 education is being consistently seen as on the rise.


Later in the article...
The newly released Kids Count report also ranked Mississippi 48th for overall child well-being, 47th for economic well-being, 50th for health, and 48th for family and community.

First step in fixing those problems is fixing education. Not sure but didn't you choose to come to Mississippi for Public College Education?

Yes, I did go to Mississippi for public college education. Why do you ask?

I did not know what lock thread you were referring to, so I made the mistake of looking back and finding it.
Buddy, my first post in this thread is nothing like the unhinged ranting you did in that Mayor thread.

My first post stated that I think it is neat to see the rise in academic testing scores, I pointed out that the organization which publishes the research is legitimate, and then I posted additional related stats from the report.

That was all factual and very much on point.

Does holding them back teach them to read and how to do math?
It most certainly does, if the held back student gets the appropriate instruction in the following year. That is what has been happening in MS at an improved rate, and these are the results. It's very good.

Barksdale Reading Institute, then CELI, and other literature programs have showed that generational investment in education pays societal dividends.

Understood. Misunderstood the original posters intent. My mistake.
