Want better schools? It’s all up to states. – The Harvard Gazette

Education scholar Thomas Kane says that’s the lesson of recent ‘Southern surge’ in test scores: "The federal government gave the power back to states in 2015, and the decline in students’ achievement began that year. It got worse during the pandemic, but it started back in 2015. States need to realize that if we’re going to turn this around, it will depend on their own leadership. Four states have clearly taken that message to heart: Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, and Tennessee."
