Declining test scores, social skills caused by school boards and teachers unions, mother says
School closures and mask mandates, pushed by unions and school boards, are behind plummeting test scores
A mother of four blamed her local school board and teachers unions across the country for the social and academic decline her kids have experienced over the past two years.

"I honestly think the school boards are very selfish," Kristin Jackson, whose kids attend public school in Fairfax County, Virginia, told Fox News. "I don't think they have the best interests of kids at all."

Average reading scores among 9-year-olds dropped five points compared to 2020, the sharpest decline in 30 years, while math scores decreased for the first time in history, according to the National Center for Education Statistics.
