I like how in the mail four years ago I got a pamphlet that showed how the national test scores were steadily decreasing during the Clinton administration. In total it went down like 4%, but they zoomed it in so much that it looked like an outline relief of the god damned Mariana trench.

The solution to this astronomical dive was more standardized testing.

And as a result, during highschool, we spent two or three weeks every year diverting time from the regular schedual and instead learning how take standardized tests without actually knowing the information in them, since the only way the school got funding was good results. Now that's progress.
