Good thing we're getting full-day kindergarten

After all, Montana students only have ACT scores that exceed the national average.

Only 13 states had higher average test scores, and of those, a number of states were ones where the SAT is the major test taken by high school students -- meaning that their ACT scores are artificially high (just as SAT scores in states where the ACT is the major test are artificially high, since only those students who are headed toward more elite colleges take it.)

But these test scores definitely prove that Montana's lack of full-day kindergarten and supposed neglect of education has seriously hampered student performance.

Thank goodness the Dems have ridden to the rescue.
