Bring back the 3rd grade reading guarantee: if you can’t read by the end of 3rd grade, then you don’t go to 4th grade until you can. Great discussion at dinner for the College of St. Joseph the Worker.

McMahon: Only 30% of them are reading proficiently. That doesn't mean that they can't read words. They can't read cognitively. That's what we are missing. You read to learn up until 3rd grade and then after that— I mean you are learning to read up until the end of 3rd grade.

The key to fixing public education is to bring back something we’ve lost: standards. If you can’t read by the end of 3rd grade, you shouldn’t move on to 4th grade. Make algebra competence the default before high school. Knowledge of U.S. civics should be a condition for graduation.

A 9-year-old patriot in northeast Ohio asked me what we were going to do for his generation. Here’s what I told him & his parents: one of the most patriotic things you can do is to ensure your kids can read by 3rd grade. We’re going to make that a reality across Ohio.

Dr. John Bergsma: “The transition from reading the Bible as a Protestant to reading it as a Catholic was like watching TV in black-and-white and then getting your first color TV. The colors just came alive.”

A 19-year-old girl graduated with honors from high school in Connecticut & she can’t read. 75% of students in 8th grade aren’t proficient in math & 70% aren’t proficient in reading. It’s the single greatest long-run crisis that neither party has done enough to address. We’re going to fix that in Ohio.
