Actually, MS has its act together--top improving state in reading. And what do you know, they didn't do that by lowering standards, instead they expected more of (and invested more in) students and schools. mdek12.org/SSE/success @GovKateBrown @ORDeptED_Colt @forabetterOR
Yeah, ODE and some educators may feel better getting students to successfully reach a lower bar (a D in math!) but that's a cop-out to the hard work a real commitment to equity requires.
News flash: Lowering standards is not equity. What is equitable about students who already struggle with poverty, racism, etc entering the workforce and realizing they can't compete for living wage jobs?
Textbook example (and very sad example, speaking as an Ore. parent) of the "soft bigotry of low expectations." @GovKateBrown @forabetterOR @ORDeptED_Colt
