Nancy Bailey looks at how the inheritors of the education hit piece, A Nation at Risk, continue to depend on forcing toddlers to grow faster, somehow. #inappropriate

First, children are pushed to read before they're ready, and then they fail third grade because they need more time to learn to be better readers. How does this create better readers? Children will hate reading.

Research is clear: Third-grade retention is an unnecessary, ineffective practice that demoralizes children. @SecCardona should speak to this terrible practice.

The creation of the American Climate Corps will mobilize young people who care so deeply about the future of our planet and who are ready to take on the existential threat of climate change. It's a good start. Let’s go forward together.
