So how many are true and how many false? I have no clue. Literally none. And no it doesn't make me feel any better about the screams of existential agony even if that were a low percentage. Could be high too.
Food Security Status of U.S. Households with Children in 2017 Among U.S. households with children under age 18:
84.3 percent were food secure in 2017. In 8.0 percent of households with children, only adults were food insecure. Both children and adults were food insecure in 7.7 percent of households with children (2.9 million households). Although children are usually protected from substantial reductions in food intake even in households with very low food security, nevertheless, in about 0.7 percent of households with children (250,000 households), one or more child also experienced reduced food intake and disrupted eating patterns at some time during the year.

I thought the state was holding the school hostage, threatening to cut funds or shut them down if they ever stopped. We never learned anything about civics or American history. Until I was out of highschool, content regarding atrocities like slavery and the trail of tears was not on the test and that was enough to whitewash the whole curriculum.
Standardized testing is to the U.S. what lead waterpipes were to the roman empire.
