this is interesting: South Carolina passed a law in May banning minimum grades in K12 schools, to try and crack down on grade inflation..."among the first states to attempt to tackle the problem through legislation, following a similar law passed by Texas in 2009."

📚In 2024, Maryland set academic goals for students to reach by 2026 — by 2025 the goals had been lowered. Even with the revised benchmarks, students fell short in both English and math.
📉Now, some lawmakers say more accountability is needed as the state puts billions more into education funding.
Fantastic to see - this is mentioned as a pilot through mid-January and it looks like upcoming tutoring sessions are filled. I hope they monitor uptake AND outcomes and share with the community. Best wishes to the students and tutors!

This confirms a pattern we have seen in NAEP as well: our top performers are holding their own while we have a growing number of students who are struggling to meet even a low bar of achievement.

21 years since Katrina.
I was a third-year med student, dismissed from my psych rotation at Charity, went home, and packed a bag.
When school reopened, we were scattered across the state. I stayed in Baton Rouge with friends and tried to figure out what came next. A month later, I drove back to New Orleans to gather my things.
I’ll never forget that ride back into the city.
New Orleans was changed forever.
