Here is the glaring truth of it
[QUOTE=ChrisP;2792459]We don't know how well funded Maryland is. It may be underfunded. But democrat-voting Baltimore city is massively well funded: it has the third highest spending per student of all school districts in the entire country.
Despite that, Baltimore city has 23 schools with not a single student at age-level math proficiency, and 20 or so more with only 1 or 2 students at that level.
That is absolutely glaring, and no leftist is able to explain it.[/QUOTE]Trump's Pandemic set back scores all around the country, probably all around the world. It has nothing to do with "Dem run" anything.
It turns out if a so-called "World Leader" is so bad at math he can't tell the difference in Inauguration crowd sizes even with photographic proof, can't figure out that a million fewer jobs created with his $2. 5+ Trillion deficit-spending economic "stimulus" legislation than without it was a huge waste of money, can't calculate that subtracting 5 months of Pandemic Prevention and Response monitoring and reporting from 2 months being plenty of time to prevent a Worldwide Mass Murdering, Economy and Supply Chain-destroying Pandemic from emerging after initial cases were detected equals "Your Pandemic", can't figure out that getting 7 million fewer votes, that 232 Electoral College votes is fewer than 306 and that 65 lost court cases means the election was not stolen from him, etc etc etc, then America's most dangerous math problems were not in our schools but in the White House from January 2017 to January 2021.

Mississippi and Louisiana at the bottom...
[QUOTE=Tiny12;2792390]Why pick on Mississippi? [/QUOTE]Do you mean the theft, misappropriation and miss-allocation of educational funds and welfare aid / funds, in a state like Mississippi, that continually rank at the bottom of the country in corruption, poverty and education.
[QUOTE=Tiny12;2792390][URL]https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/us-literacy-rates-by-state[/URL] ? The illiteracy rate, based on the National Assessment of Adult Literacy, is highest in California (23.1%) and New York (22.1%). Mississippi is in 9th place, ... [/QUOTE]What are you talking about? The link you provide, has Mississippi, Louisiana and Nevada at the bottom of the [B]literacy rate table[/B], with 84%, 84% and 83.9%, respectfully. Check the tab, that shows the "bottom" of the literacy rate table, in your link.
The results from your link, is very much in-line with the results, from a previous " illiteracy table" I provided, that uses a few other metrics, but mirrors the same results w/r to red states commonly at the bottom. No bias here, just the data. See the following link.

Your link of "literacy rates" is only showing the reciprocal of what I already showed you, with illiteracy rates, but using slightly different metrics.
Yeah, but not so obvious...
[QUOTE=Tiny12;2792390]Come on Spidy. It's obviously from the USA Government's web site. That's easy to figure out by looking at the figure.

Mississippi, Louisiana is at the bottom, no matter the spin
[QUOTE=Tiny12;2792495]SPIDY, my goodness, you think that 84% of the population in Mississippi, Louisiana and Nevada is illiterate? No wonder you insist on calling Nevada a swing state instead of a blue state. Those numbers are the % of the population exhibiting "basic prose literacy skills." Or what World Population Review is calling the "literacy rate." Subtract the literacy rate from 100% to get the % of the population that's illiterate, defined, again, as the % of "American adults age 16 and over (that) lack basic prose literacy skills defined as ranging from being fully unable to read to only being able to understand short, commonplace text in English, but nothing more advanced." California and New York are at the top of the list, with only 76.9% and 77.9% respectively exhibiting basic prose literacy skills. Nevada, New Mexico, and Louisiana are in 8th through 10th places. [/QUOTE]My goodness indeed...kkkk! It that your fancy way off saying I don't know what top and bottom of the illiteracy and literacy rate tables look like.
Spin it any way you want. I think most people know what the bottom and top of a chart looks like, never mind the percentages you care to spin.
Red states like Mississippi and Louisiana are commonly at the bottom illiteracy and literacy rate tables. Period.
