New results show less than a third of all New Mexico students are proficient in reading and only about 1/5th are proficient in math.

How many times in the last decade has New Mexico changed its "standardized" testing?
I’ve covered at least four since I’ve been on and off covering NM education since 2004. Next year will be the 5th. And many NM high school students still have to take remedial classes in college before being allowed to take undergrad classes

Kids do all over and the smart research is not to do remedial but regular classes with support. Great stuff out of UT Austin. Remedial classes are $$$ for colleges, another way to gouge parents IMO.

I taught a remedial college class here once. The students had a hard time with spelling and writing complete sentences. They were all NM high grads. After a semester with me, they were set.
