As a reminder to everyone, here's what the guidelines say[0]
> Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize.
There are reasons to edit the title other than this quote, but this article is not one of such cases. The original title "Hard Lessons from the New NAEP Results" is meaningful enough. Changing it has made it clickbait.
I'm also a little surprised that more people aren't talking about it and that it hasn't been changed. There's definitely a culture shift happening in HN...
If you've never read the guidelines, now is a great time. Seriously, it isn't that long and captures why many of us come to HN over other sites.
I'm curious, why did you make this change? The article isn't about Oregon. Plus, the claim itself is pretty disingenuous since it is including covid data, vastly exaggerating the effect[0]
