Obviously you listen to the wonderful liberal media who will try to destroy DeSantis because he is a fighter like Trump.
Despite media efforts to obfuscate, Florida's Republican governor has handled the coronavirus better than New York's Democratic governor.

I was just listening to some talking heads on TV saying that some kids would have to go through two years of education to catch up on what they lost in remote schooling.
Florida children will be ahead of the pack.

Florida School Grades Far Exceed Expectations
~ Data shows Florida’s schools performed much better than expected due to policies that kept schools open and kept students in the classroom ~
Tallahassee, Fla., July 7, 2022 – Today, the Florida Department of Education (FDOE) released school grades for the 2021-2022 academic year, which show that schools statewide exceeded expectations. The 2021-2022 school grades mark the first full school grade data release since 2019 due to the lack of assessments in the 2019-2020 school year and the opt-in nature of the 2020-2021 school grades. FDOE applauds the hard work of Florida’s students, parents, teachers and school leaders as their collective efforts to support student achievement resulted in school grades that defied conventional wisdom and established a foundation for further closing achievement gaps.
Key Highlights:
- Fifty-three schools exited the School Improvement Support list in 2022.
- 100% of schools graded F in 2019 improved their grades in 2022, including one that earned a B and six that earned a C.
- 84% of schools graded D and F in 2019 improved their grades in 2022.
- Overall, elementary schools had the largest increase in the percentage of schools increasing their grade with 20% (351) of elementary schools improving one or more letter grade.
- 469 schools increased their grade in 2022, while 825 schools maintained an A grade and 348 schools maintained a B grade compared to 2019.
“From Spring 2021 to Spring 2022, it’s clear that our teachers and school leaders used every resource at their disposal to lift Florida’s students well beyond expectations,” said Commissioner Manny Diaz, Jr. “We know that these results are thanks to policies that kept schools open and kept kids in the classroom, which has been widely recognized as critical to student achievement. Today we can celebrate these incredible results, while continuing to support the schools that are struggling. With Governor DeSantis’ leadership, Florida will continue to support our great teachers and implement world class instructional and educational supports to uplift Florida’s education family.”…emphasis added
