Civics Scores Are No Bueno, and Debating Teacher Pay in High Poverty Schools - Passing Period #97

This Week: The 2022 NAEP 8th grade civics scores are out, and the clickbait headlines are flowing. But what does the data really mean, and how should we feel about the lack of progress?  Also, Manuel and Jeff weigh in on an age-old debate - should teachers who work in hard to staff schools, or schools serving marginalized communities, be paid more? Is the opposition from unions just entrenched politics of the past that preserve an unfair system? Are these policies a temporary band aid that won’t actually move the needle on teacher retention and sustainability? Or worse, a poison pill that could further undermine public schools and a substantive equity agenda?
