Sorry to sound negative, but that doesn't say much for the other states...

If you weigh 400 lbs and lose 100, you might be in the top .0001% of people in terms of actual pounds, but you are still morbidly obese.

More of Wright's self-serving BS trying to justify her ridiculous salary.

Has Shad White taken credit for this yet?

This here's what Git-R-Dun looks like!

Plus, when educatshun's already that low then just about any durn thing is better.

I'm glad we're improving, but just like with COVID we're starting from a severe low point. Here's what the self-serving announcement doesn't tell you; Mississippi still ranks just 45th in the nation. Doesn't sound so grand now, does it? Dr. Wright owes the state a refund on what we've paid her. You can see the entire results here.

I knew Elon personally back in his Paypal days. The man is a literal con artist. Everything about him (including his fake hair) and everything he does is a scam. And this is no different. He is a an excellent hype man and bullshit artist.

Take Tesla for example. Its number one product is its stock. Second would be the flamethrowers Elon sold a few years ago. The deal with his relative who owned SolarCity was a scam on stockholders. Sold the green rubes on solar shingles and the Tesla PowerWall. Never going to happen.

Lumumba doing great things in education too. That's a leader we can all be proud of Lumumba.

I looked at the report. Mississippi is ranked above four states. It is tied with eight states. And it falls below everyone else.

" I knew Elon personally "

Hell, Britney Spears is a distant cousin of mine.
Gawd, she has embarrassed the family over the years,
but I'm glad at least one of us became a millionaire.

BTW . . . she wears fake hair too.

I've never lived in a state that hated itself and its institutions so much. Serious question: is it just plain old racism, general hatred of government, or some kind of brainwashing from having the rest of the U.S. poop on you since the 1960s (which was sort of your own fault)?

I thought Shad White determined they had cooked the numbers regarding attendance and graduation rates? How does Wright get away with publishing such drivel? Is the media on the take in the Mississippi scam of the taxpayers?

7:27am In the event you are not illiterate, go and read the MDE response to Shad. They were following the law. Oldest trick in the book--pass a law and when they follow the law but there are questions, easiest thing to do is blame them. Been done that way for decades.

It comes from being right about everything back then, while the federal government has been proven wrong in every social experiment from integrating the schools to affirmative action in the work place. All they have done is spread the misery equally instead of lifting anyone up. Everyone knows who is and isn't pulling the weight in an office or learning environment. But the only slackers you can discipline these days are white slackers.

It has been amusing to watch the government's social experiments fail and soon collapse the republic. It will all be over when they can no longer money-print their way out of the problems that they create. Another fat stimulus handout followed by the most epic dotcom crash should do the trick. Then Americans will line up and submit to anything to fill their hungry stomachs.

Hair's so overrated.

" It comes from being right about everything back then, while the federal government has been proven wrong in every social experiment from integrating the schools to affirmative action in the work place. All they have done is spread the misery equally instead of lifting anyone up."

Amen !

"All they have done is spread the misery equally instead of lifting anyone up."

Lifting up was never the goal. The goals, which were achieved, were these: Dumbing down. Mediocrity. Averaging. Reducing excellence. Lowering the bar. The same goals exist today and are being pushed by democrats.

You don't pour water into a bucket of wine and expect it to improve the quality of either liquid. All you'll ever get is watered-down wine. And you'll be told, repetitively, that it tastes fine...until you eventually believe it.
