A masked elementary student / Getty Images After two years of pandemic-disrupted learning, nearly every state saw fourth- and eighth-grade students’ math scores plummet, the Education Department reported Monday.
The average math scores for students in 43 states and jurisdictions fell sharply in 2022 compared with 2019, with the remaining 10 seeing no significant improvement or decline, according to the 2022 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), known as the Nation’s Report Card . The average math score dropped 5 points for fourth graders and 8 points for eighth graders compared with 2019. Public schools across the country also saw an average 3-point decrease in reading scores for the same grades. Reading scores matched the NAEP’s 1992 assessment, and math scores are back to 2003 levels, wiping out decades of progress.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
