About the same amount of time we have had the U.S. Dept. of (no)Education
crammed down our throats (or shoved elsewhere).

Just more data proving the liberal education system is an absolute failure.

*SAT reading scores for graduating high school seniors this year reached the
lowest point in nearly four decades*, reflecting a steady decline in
performance in that subject on the college admissions test, the College
Board reported <http://press.collegeboard.org/sat>Wednesday.
In the Washington area, one of the nation’s leading producers of
college-bound students, educators were scrambling to understand double-digit
drops in test scores in Montgomery and Prince William counties and
elsewhere.
Nationally, the reading score for the Class of 2011, including public- and
private-school students, was 497, down three points from the previous year
and 33 points from 1972, the earliest year for which comparisons are
possible. The average math score was 514, down one point from last year but
up five from 1972.
The College Board attributed the lower scores to the growing diversity of
test-takers, many of whom are less prepared for college-level work or are
learning English as a second language.
Sounds like Liberals are blaming minorities on top of blaming the No Child
Left Behind Law. Liberals don't like tests which show their failures.
The disappointing SAT scores come as schools have made major efforts to
raise scores on state standardized tests under the 2002 No Child Left Behind
law. Some critics of testing say the intense focus on state reading and math
exams has taken its toll on higher-order thinking skills.
