Fox News LIES about Wisconsin schools!

[Joanne98]

Cutting Class

Just days after Wisconsin teachers forced school closings so they could engage in protest marches -- we learn that two-thirds of the eighth graders in the state's public schools -- cannot read proficiently.

The education department says only 34% of those students earned a proficient rating or better -- that's 4% higher than the national average.

The other 66% earned a rating at -- or below -- basic.

Tests show the reading abilities of those students have improved by only a single percentage point -- since 1998 -- despite a significant increase in spending per pupil.

7. The RWnuts are linking to this page...

Of course they don't bother to read the fine print.

8. The fine print says

that the study was for public schools only.

[Viking12]

9. No, the fine print defines 'Basic', 'Proficient', and 'Advanced'

but apparently you didn't bother to RTFR yourself.

11. I'll look again.

I just looked and I don't see what you are referring to.
