Extra: America Is Losing The Battle Against "Learning Loss"

American students are still behind, but there is some hope.

That’s according to the latest National Assessment of Education Progress Report Card, which tracks the performance of fourth and eighth graders every two years. While there have been some areas of improvement, math and reading scores are still trending lower than before the pandemic.

The Department of Education says the results are "heartbreaking," and students who are already behind won't be able to catch up.

Education researcher at the American Institute for Research and the University of Washington, Dr. Da Goldhaber, joined host Lisa Brady on the FOX News Rundown this past week to

discuss some of the report’s "bright spots," but why so many American students continue to struggle and why it will be hard for them to recover fro pandemic learning loss.

Goldhaber detailed actions that can be taken locally and by the new administration to improve test scores. He also argued that recruiting and retaining quality teachers is a key part of the solution.

We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like

to hear the full interview.

Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with Dr. Dan Goldhaber, helping you better understand America’s education crisis and how to remedy it.
