With Oklahoma ranking last in the country in student reading scores – and things being so bad that we’re having to turn to bottom-10 companion Mississippi for guidance – I’m for any logical or rational plan to increase literacy among Oklahoma kids.
I guess that’s why I’m all for a proposal, warts and all, being floated by State Sen. Adam Pugh and State Rep. Toni Hasenbeck – two lawmakers who are running for State Superintendent – that would bring back an older law requiring teens to prove they can read at an 8th-grade level before they can get their driver’s license.
