While the reduction in student performance was the observable and most immediately pressing issue, the underlying problem appears that an educationally unsound decision was made by the school to reduce the amount of reading required of students in the reading curriculum in response to political pressures imposed by local adversaries.	cache/cieatasu-996.pdf	txt/cieatasu-996.txt
