Arrr, matey! The scallywags o' Minnesota's learnin' ship be flounderin' in the treacherous seas o' math, readin', and science! Aye, the Department o' Education be spillin' the beans, showin' most young buccaneers be missin' the mark, like aimless sailors without a compass!

Avast, me hearties! Gather 'round as I regale ye with a tale from the frigid shores of Minnesota, where the young scholars be flounderin' like fish outta water! A new scroll from the Minnesota Department of Education be revealin' that more than half o' the wee buccaneers be missin' the mark in their learnin'—specifically in the treacherous seas of math, readin', and science.

Ye see, the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCAs) tell a sorry tale; a lamentable 60.4% of the scallywags can't muster the knowledge to pass in science, and only 39.5% be sailin' smooth! In the realm of numbers, 54.5% be barely keepin' their heads above water, with 45.5% managing to find their way through the fog. As for readin’, 50.2% of the crew be strugglin' to keep a steady course, while a mere 49.8% be findin' their sea legs.

Even the landlubbers in political office be takin’ note, with House Republicans callin’ the results a grim reflection on the education seas under Governor Walz's watch. So, me mateys, while the winds may be blowin' cold in the north, it seems the minds of the young’uns be needin' some serious navigatin'! Arrr!
