Few things are more important than the education of our young people.
That’s why, when the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) released the Nation’s Report Card earlier this week, I became concerned. Average scores among 8th and 12th grade students were lower across all three primary assessments — science, math, and reading. For example, only 22% of 12th graders were proficient at their level of mathematics and 35% were proficient at their level of reading.
