ACT Scores Recentered To Make Results Look Better - ROPE Report Live



Many years ago while writing about Common Core, I (Jenni White) found an indicator of student achievement that made me blanch. This graphic was taken from an old paper on ACT scores over the years. This graphic - including the original discussion on how Oklahoma has manipulated Student Achievement data to make it seem as though public schools were doing better than they are, especially when compared to testing scores - is a truly damning measure of how DUMB Americans educated in public schools have become and how our legislators and Education industrial complex has been stealing our tax dollars to dumb our students down. After all, people who can't think for themselves are easily led.

Here are some of the articles I've written over the years about this very same issue:




OSDE Test Scores VS Achievement Scores - ROPE Report Short



With our V1SUT blogger, Michael and Jenni went over the Oklahoma State Department of Education proficiency and achievement data through the school Report Card. Though we've had Reed Downey on the program previously to tell us how badly Oklahoma students are performing on Achievement data, it's even worse when we compare Achievement data with Assessment (testing) scores. Suffice it to say that the Oklahoma legislature should not give public schools in Oklahoma one more thin dime until they can actually show that they are EDUCATING Oklahoma students. This is truly tragic.
