## [Harping on NAEP](https://wyliberty.org/blog/education/harping-on-naep)
Wednesday, 09 November 2016
NAEP (National Assessment of Educational Progress) and standardized reading and math test scores are often referred to by Wyoming Liberty Group in its articles about Wyoming K-12 education.

The result is the mammoth and terrifically expensive education system we now have. Efficiency often sim...
