lol. Did you always take your ball home and play by yourself? I bet you’re a blast to work with or be around. Do you melt when you don’t get your way? Soft. By the way, you add nothing to this site.

Wrong. I enjoy and have learned from BnB posts. Do you even hunt or fish???
Or do you just pee in the wind and enjoy it???
NO REPLY NEEDED.

Then you don't know Dave. He is one of the few that takes young and old sportsman Deer and Bear hunting no this sight. Not for the glory, as he never boasts about it and expects recognition.

Maybe you do the samething as Dave. I don't know your situation. But Dave has did a lot for this site.

He does sound like a great guy. You, on the other hand, sound like an ass.

I’ve never understood why, if the majority of the state agree that teachers are under paid, they can’t be given a onetime “catch-up” raise of 20-30% or whatever it would take to get them up to speed. No raises for admins and non-teachers, just teachers.

Just to add some broader context to these district numbers: state-level and district-level percentages don't always tell the whole story because every state sets its own bar for what 'proficient' means.

For instance, on its own state tests, North Dakota reports a statewide math proficiency of around 41%, while a state like Iowa reports a massive 75% proficiency.

However, when you put both states on the exact same scale using the NAEP (the Nation's Report Card, which acts as the equalizer since every student takes the same test), the reality flips. On that nationally normed test, North Dakota 8th graders rank #2 in the nation, while Iowa falls way behind at #15. Furthermore, analytical comparisons to international data place ND 8th graders in the top 10 globally if we competed as our own country.

It proves that a 41% in a state with rigorous standards means a lot more than a 75% where the bar is set low. It’s always worth doing a little deeper research and asking more questions before rushing to conclusions based on isolated data points.
