What this article doesnt say, but needs to, is that poverty is racialized! ****** Most recently, we tied with Mississippi for dead last in the country for reading and math scores. Only one in five of our students can read at grade level. And by the time our students hit eighth grade, only one in five can do math at grade level. One in five! A major reason for this ongoing failure is that we have many more children living in poverty than most states. Education research has consistently shown that child poverty is the most significant barrier to a child’s success in school, greater than minority status or whether a student’s parents graduated from high school.
