Question – If your company’s job for the last several decades has been to improve a specific metric, and every single measure of that metric has sunk like a goddamn rock, would you not lose your job?

When I read this post I thought that 27% is obviously just a made up statistic. I mean there’s no way that can be true, right? So I looked it up and it’s actually not that far off.
Only about 32% of 4th-8th grade students and 37% of high school students are proficient in reading.
Those are shocking statistics.
The US education system has failed our students. Meanwhile Chinese students are doing calculus and winning STEM competitions
Question: Is that company’s goal to deliver a profit or to provide a public service?
It’s about time someone taught the Department of Indoctrination a ‘lesson’.
You do realize that federal workers that are losing their jobs at the department of education don’t actually teach reading, yes? They help with funding for schools largely – mostly for disabled children and children in poverty. They may help to secure the funds for a reading program (I’m not sure, it’s likely a part of one of their jobs), but they have no say whatsoever even in the curriculum. That’s the states job.
