The new NAEP isn’t all bad news. The kids who weren’t in school when we shut it down for 1-2 years are rolling through the system and starting to out-perform the ones who were in elementary school when schools were closed. Boys & low-income kids saw the biggest upswing.

Isn't that the logical conclusion? Why would kids unaffected by the shut downs perform *worse* than those that were? The real good news would be them performing better than all prior cohorts.

We’ve never seen drops in achievement like this before. It’s basically a loss of a year and a half of knowledge per child and a reversal of three and a half decades of steady progress. The system isn’t designed to fix the scale of the problem. And the problem isn’t being fixed.

Knowledge-rich education doesn't merely challenge educational progressivism. It collides with some of the deepest commitments of American life: Individualism. Local control. Personalization. Choice. Distrust of authority. That's why it remains more admired than adopted.

Declining K-12 enrollment is a worldwide phenomenon. What does this mean for the thousands of neighborhood schools that are now too empty to justify their own existence?
