When the State is run by a Union Man official, you can expect the State will favor Da Union.
...what last school year’s Forward exam results don’t show is whether some learning outcomes in Wisconsin are improving. That’s because the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) changed how it evaluates student performance on the test last year.
The new benchmarks for reading and math make it almost impossible to compare data from the 2023-24 school year with previous results, and the department is warning against drawing comparisons.
DPI officials emphasize that the changes were made to get a better picture of how students are doing, not to boost flagging test scores....
They're lying, of course. Even Allan Borsuk--NOT a 'conservative'--calls them out.
... Alan Borsuk, a senior fellow at Marquette University Law School who has researched and written about public education in Wisconsin for decades, says that standards have, in fact, been lowered.
“It’s easier to become defined as proficient now for a Wisconsin student taking the state test,” Borsuk said. “So, I would call that lowering the bar.”...
The irony here? Evers actually raised the bar. His successor, Jill Underly, lowered it. But it's Evers' watch, and he knew what was happening.
