School performance is even worse than you think
DAVID STROM 8:01 AM on June 27, 2023The basic numbers are hideous–wiping out decades of progress in student performance. And there is no sign of progress having been made now that students have been back in school for two years. In fact, in many cases, the decline continues.
Much worse, though, is the lesser-known fact that at least hundreds of thousands and perhaps many more, since not all states have reported–simply dropped off the map and don’t appear to be getting any education at all since the beginning of the pandemic.
It has been widely documented that public schools have been bleeding students at a rate that alarms public school advocates; what is little discussed is that they don’t appear to have shown up on the rolls of other schools or be in home schools. They are simply…gone from the system.
Anecdotally you can see where many of these students have wound up–Minneapolis’ carjacking problem, for instance, is being driven by young teens who appear to have nothing better to do–but practically speaking all we know is that they don’t appear to be getting any form of education at all.

It seems that now school is all about political indoctrination instead of traditional learning, or just dropping out altogether.
