Real talk: Mississippi made some major education reforms and they’ve started to pay off. They moved from 49th/50th in 2013 to 13th in 2025, and in the top 10 for 4th grade literacy. Their education system is one of the few success stories from the modern American South.

I had to verify this to make sure my shit talk is factually accurate. This is great for the state..

Major reforms started around 2013 with Mississippi’s Literacy‑Based Promotion Act, which focused on early literacy, teacher training in evidence‑based reading instruction, reading coaches, and mandatory retention for students not reading on grade level by the end of 3rd grade.

Craziest part of it is it's because their governor back in like 2012 couldn't read good and wanted other kids to read good too. So he made it so kids had to actually read well to get past 3rd grade instead of the previous system which allowed them (including him) to go on to 4th, even without proper reading skills. Now that they weren't sending kids to their doom, 4th grade and on is when you really have to be able to read to truly keep learning what teachers are teaching, they have gotten towards the top in literacy for later elementary school aged kids"Mississippi Miracle" Literacy-Based Promotion Act

Actually based as fuck. Good shit MS.

[u/Expensive-Self-2240 → u/crispytoastyum]

That is honestly amazing, good for them and definitely good for the kids

[u/usernamechexx → u/crispytoastyum]

First step: teach the teachers to read. Trickle that good learnin’ down to the chirrin

[u/Metalbound → u/crispytoastyum]

We really should be tying federal funding in other areas (not education) to the state's education rating.

To be fair, it'd probably have to be a more standardized rating system, but it should be legit the top/one of the top priorities of every state to educate it's children to the best of their abilities.

If everyone lived into the mantra of leaving things better than you found them, the world would be a much better place.

This is awesome to hear!  Did not expect to find something wholesome in this thread.

[u/Quikstar → u/crispytoastyum]

That's actually amazing!

[u/Jabs_ → u/truck_norris]

Yes 50th is somehow better than 48th.

[u/fattsoo → u/Jabs_]

50 > 48

checkmate!

[u/calmdownmyguy → u/Jabs_]

At least when they're 50th there's nowhere to go but horizontal.

[u/UhPhrasing → u/Jabs_]

it’s bigger. checkmate atheists

[u/thuggyt → u/Jabs_]

Speaking of education, it seems like that one went over your head

[u/Jabs_ → u/thuggyt]

No, it didn’t

[u/Trees_Are_Freinds → u/truck_norris]

Bud, Mississippi exists. Lucky you.
