Why was the headline changed? The story isn't about Oregon.

- godelski 9mo agoAs 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.

- grantpitt 9mo agoI quoted from the middle of the article what I found interesting. I don't submit on here much and I just put that in the title field without thinking. I'm glad that comment provides proper context on this.
