This time let's hope the program keeps the focus on the unacceptable performance at Kentucky's failing schools instead of regurgitating conflicting performance data at charter schools around the country.
The fact is we have real performance data from Kentucky's failing schools and the people paid to educate kids in those schools have no answers year after year after year after year.
Unacceptable!
