Good question from Sentinel-News

The Sentinel-News’ editors are asking why kids are still in school now that all of the testing is finished (subscription).

As the newspaper correctly points out, “The week of school after KPREP/year-end exams seems a bit of a waste of time.” There isn’t much, if any, learning going on. It’s just a wasteful bureaucratic way to meet the mandatory attendance day requirements.

Kentucky can’t afford that kind of nonsense anymore.
