1/3 Listening to the podcast late today. To answer your ?? abt #NewMexico @KeithMalinak @PatUnleashed. NM is 30th in per pupil spending @ $11,266. Currently we're 51st overall in educational outcomes. intelligent.com/the-best-and-w…
2/3 For the 2021-22 School year #NewMexico students were at:
34% of grade level for Reading proficiency
21% of grade level for math proficiency
40% of grade level for science proficiency

3/3 And our legislature just passed a bill this session, signed by the governor that adds extra days/instructional hours (read: longer school days) to try and make up from Covid learning loss. Of course more time in the failing schools will help kids improve, right? 🤪 🤡 🤪

1/ I feel a thread coming on. @NMPED pull up a chair ... this concerns you.

This op-ed was published in the @ABQJournal yesterday about kids not losing academic progress over the course of this year.

Go ahead read it, then we'll come back and talk:
2/ As a mother and former school teacher, I call bull on this. Absolute and total bull.

Case in point. My 2 sons are special needs. They are on IEPs for developmental delays. Both were improving & meeting their IEP goals last spring when @GovMLG mistakenly shut down schools.
3/ They were both only a year to six months behind their peers as far as academics were concerned. Son #1 was also improving on his social goals, which were also part of his IEP.

Here's a true story ... about public education in #NewMexico

School started in #LosAlamos on August 13th, 2020. We knew it would be a weird start, but held out hope that the kids would be back at school in a timely manner. #backtoschoolnmm #covid19
2/ Kids were supposed to return Sept 21st, but the school board delayed the start of hybrid to Oct 19th. Something about "not being ready" .. what were you doing all summer? I withdrew my younger kid, b/c remote school almost destroyed him. Left my older kid enrolled.
3/ My kid went exactly 5 days before the school board voted to go back to remote till Jan 19th 2021. Last week we had snow, so no in person school. Today he went back for TWO hours only, in the PM, after all of the academic work. So basically for study hall. #backtoschoolnm
