As Discussions About Dumping CATS Heat Up

Washington State just dropped the ninth grade part of its long-running, costly and slow feedback WASL tests.

Next year, that state’s school executive recently announced, the entire program will be revamped to save money and get scores back quicker.

Sounds like Washington already did some of that research that a few in Kentucky are trying to say still needs to be done.

Kentucky needs to take a page from Washingtons book. CATS testing is a waste. Children are not performing better, they are not prepared for college when they graduate. Why not use the funds from CATS to provide better education and not just teach the test?

I agree. CATS needs to go.
