Georgia ranks #38 in the nation for education. According to the Nation's Report Card, nearly 70% of Georgia's third and fourth graders cannot read on grade level. Meanwhile, Mississippi — once 49th in the country — has executed what's now called the “Mississippi Miracle,” returning to phonics instruction and embedding literacy coaches in early grades to drive proficiency by third grade.
In this clip, Dr. Randell Trammell — education doctorate, 23-year educator, founder of the U.S. Center for Civic Engagement, and Republican candidate for Georgia School Superintendent — breaks down the literacy crisis crushing Georgia kids and explains the “Southern Surge” sweeping Alabama, South Carolina, and Tennessee while Georgia falls behind.
You'll learn:
• The exact NAEP numbers Georgia officials don't want parents to see
• How Mississippi went from 49th to leading the nation
• Why “measure what matters” must replace Georgia's broken testing model
• The 3P Model: passion, purpose, paycheck
• Why every Georgia graduate needs a real pathway — college, trades, military, or workforce
