National Math/Reading Scores tank...

You clearly don't know what DEI is nor how it can be incorporated into a maths lesson.
My two long-term friends who are 30-year experience science, maths and English teachers do know. Also, one teaches sight-challenged and blind kids. The other translates school texts into Braille documents. They probably know better than me, which is why I asked them. Seems they know better than you too. ;)

Anybody else think our Bush Pilot is full of you know what?
I find it sick he is actually rooting for schools to be shut down.
And I find his claime a 2 year old can read to be, frankly, unbeleivable.

lenient grading

The Economist (29 October to 4 November 2022) discussed the precipitous drop in scores on page 27: "Educators in some circles still shy away from talk of 'learning loss.' They prefer to say that children are suffering 'unfinished instruction' or 'interrupted learning;' they insist that children learned other types of lessons during the pandemic. Parents are not always pushing them. Only 9% think their child's learning will not be back on track within a year or two, according to a survey for Education Next, a journal. Two fifths think that they never fell behind. Lenient grading during remote learning may have given them false assurance."

This subject has a root cause.
In the 60's we did rote learning of times tables, but this has been abandoned in NZ at least. As far as I know.
 
Actually I still remember chanting
One ones are one.
One ones are one.
Two ones are two
One twos are two.

Etc

And so on.
 
NAEP 2024 Update.

For math, 4th graders at 75% distribution recovered to 2019 levels but at the 25% distribution they declined further from both the 2019 and 2022 levels. Reading generally declined more.
