Missing read scores from Spain 2018

[gorkang]

It seems the read data for Spain (ESP) in 2018 is missing. Some missings too for USA 2006 and VNM 2018.

learningtower::load_student(year = c("2000", "2003", "2006", "2009", "2012", "2015", "2018", "2022")) %>% 
  group_by(year, country, NAs = is.na(read)) %>% 
  tally() |> 
  filter(country %in% c("USA", "ESP", "VNM")) |> 
  filter(NAs)

   year country NAs       n
  <int> <fct>   <lgl> <int>
1  2006 USA     TRUE   5611
2  2018 ESP     TRUE  35943
3  2018 VNM     TRUE   5377

Thanks for the package!

Thanks, I will investigate this now after coming back from a leave.

I can confirm that the read scores are available when reading directly from the SAV files, missing when reading from https://github.com/kevinwang09/learningtower_masonry/blob/master/Data/Output/2018/stu_qqq.rds and confirmed the example above did not yield expected values. Hence, this is probably missing due to issues when saving to rds or when all the data all got binded.

Not sure the real cause, but lines like this are erroring out. I have tested that if the data is reprocessed into a correct RDS file, then the ESP read scores will be present. I will now audit the code more carefully to eliminated any similar issues.
