$7B School Improvement Grants Had ‘No Significant Impacts’ on Achievement

 

(CNSNews.com) – Days before President Donald Trump’s inauguration, the U.S. Department of Education released a devastating critique of its $7 billion School Improvement Grants [1] (SIG) program.

The now defunct SIG program first began under President George W. Bush and later became a key part of the Obama administration's efforts to improve student achievement at hundreds of the nation’s lowest-performing public schools

 “The findings presented in this report do not lend much support for the SIG program having achieved this goal,” the report [2] concluded.

“Overall, across all grades, we found that implementing any SIG-funded model had no significant impacts on math or reading test scores, high school graduation, or college enrollment.”

Yes but, throwing money at the problem is a sign of how compassionate you are.

But just think how many liberals that trough fed over the years.

Maybe scholastic achievement wasn't the goal.

Yes but, throwing money at the problem is a sign of how compassionate you are.

 

But politicians can con the majority of people by saying look what we did for education.  The lack of progress isn't our fault.
