National
In his State of the Union address on Tuesday, President Donald Trump devoted limited attention to education, focusing primarily on a nationwide K-12 artificial intelligence (AI) competition spearheaded by First Lady Melania Trump. The initiative encourages students and educators to develop AI-based solutions to real-world problems, with finalists set to showcase their work at the White House later this year. Trump did not address major education policies that have defined his administration, including deep staff cuts at the U.S. Department of Education, the transfer of key federal education programs to the Department of Labor, or expanded support for private school choice. He also avoided discussion of controversial moves such as revoking protections that limited immigration enforcement at schools and scaling back STEM grants and the department’s office of educational technology. While briefly referencing parental notification policies related to student gender identity, the president offered no new education proposals, leaving his longer-term agenda unclear as midterm elections approach.

A new study of more than 2,000 parents suggests that families are far more likely to respond to slipping grades than declining standardized test scores, a pattern researchers say could lead to underinvestment in children’s learning. In an online experiment, researchers from Oregon State University and the University of Chicago presented parents with hypothetical student profiles showing different combinations of grades and percentile-ranked test scores. Parents were asked how they would spend an imaginary $100 per week to support the child, choosing options like tutoring, after-school programs, or saving the money. They could also invest their own time helping with homework. Parents were most likely to increase support when both grades and test scores were low. However, when grades were high but test scores were weak, parents were much less likely to step in. More than 70% of parents said they trusted grades more than standardized tests, while fewer than 9% trusted test scores more.
