It's probably a fact that students in most other states have already been reading at grade level for years. So, although it's nice that Mississippi students are learning to read finally, it's still disheartening to know that you can be in the ninth grade and unable to read in this state.

Fire Carey Wright! And join the Facebook page by that name.

But this article and reports say that the education gaps are growing between ethnicities. So what's true?

Can't you mouth breathers ever be happy? This is good news and you immediately negate it. Please go back to eating mud chips now.

12:52AM "It's probably a fact" should have made me stop reading right away but no--most other states are not reading on grade level and the difference between last place and middle of the pack is only about 5 points.

@5:15 Both are true. You can increase overall scores (great job students!) while the highest achievers are outpacing the lowest (we have a lot of work to do still). I think it is called statistics.

12:52 It looks like your FB page (the one with all the grammatical errors) is a front for the two-time losing State Senator from Jones. Probably good idea to take it down after that waxing he took last night.

7:33 - Thanks for the visit. Can we count on you. You sound like a real dynamo and we need more leaders. Please consider joining.

Has anyone noticed that this is a magnet school? That means they attract and accept only the highest achievers. It is interesting that we are celebrating a school that has only the best of the best.

There's a big brick building out in the country in Madison County on the Old Yazoo City Road, near the Big Black River. It's home to the Canton School of Arts and Sciences and is named for a prior superintendent. It's "D" rated.

Not sure if it's considered a 'magnet'. But it's a total waste of taxpayer money.
