The data supports this as all grades in elementary and middle school decreased significantly except 8th grade.&nbsp;<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>I notice that 2018 was the last year that ES scores were comparable to 8th grade scores.  In recent years, writing scores across the board are weak.</title>

         <title>I wonder what assumptions we are making about what standardized assessments are looking for in writing.  While overall scores are low, I wonder what a data dig into schools scoring higher would reveal.</title>

         <title>The data indicates that writing has been treated as secondary or separate from reading.  A modest gain in writing scores could translate to a significant gain in overall scores.</title>

         <title>I know some worry about not enough writing time, but I don&#39;t see that. Instead i see up to 90 minutes on schedules for writing alone for years. And it isn&#39;t helping our data. Maybe it is not about the time and what we need instead is to focus more on doing less writing better. (leaving time open for content areas that will grow student&#39;s knowledge so that they have something to write about) </title>
