In many cases, students have already recovered learning lost during the pandemic. The lesson behind the lessons is that resources matter; political will matters; and that the state Legislature acted properly and promptly to address a crucial problem. The Texas Education Agency announced scores on the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) for the 2021-22 school year. [They are surprisingly good](. “It would appear we have fully recovered in reading proficiency compared to prior-to-pandemic status,” TEA Commissioner Mike Morath told us in a preview of these numbers yesterday, saying he is “pleasantly surprised.” So are we. Let’s not forget the context here. It wasn’t that long ago that we were hearing educators talk about a “lost generation” of students and the very real possibility that it would take five or 10 years to erase the “COVID slide.” That wasn’t hyperbole. Taking students out of classrooms for extended periods of time — more than a year in some districts — was bound to have negative effects. Scores reflected that. After canceling the STAAR in 2020, Texas public schools showed declines from 2019 in just about every category. Some of them, like the 15-percentage-point drop in math, were cause for alarm.   [READ MORE NEWS](   ADVERTISEMENT   [Facebook]( [Twitter]( [Instagram]( [LinkedIn]( [YouTube]( [Privacy Policy](dallasnews.com/privacy-policy) | [Account Login]( |[Help Center]( [Terms of Service]( | [Manage Preferences](dallasnews.com/privacy-policy| [Unsubscribe]( The Dallas Morning News 1954 Commerce Street Dallas, TX 75201 © Copyright 2022
