The answer to America’s educational challenges will be found in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, not Harvard, Massachusetts. I visited Woodley Elementary and met an inspiring principal, dedicated teachers, and committed students. With a 96% attendance rate and rising reading and math scores, they’re proof positive what’s possible when we invest in our kids’ literacy, support our educators, and hold ourselves accountable for progress. Let’s take what’s working in Mississippi, Tennessee, Louisiana and make it the national standard. Our kids and their parents deserve nothing less.

New @NWEA research released shows, "in nearly all grades, achievement gains during 2022–23 fell short of pre-pandemic trends, the average student will need the equivalent of 4.1 additional months of schooling to catch up in reading and 4.5 months in math." nytimes.com/2023/07/11/us/…

These polling questions are ridiculous- we cannot allow the age narrative to be the “but her emails” of 2024. President Biden’s historic record speaks for itself - with yet another great jobs report on Friday. #Biden2024
