The Herald-Leader ran a short article yesterday, “Education Week magazine gives Ky. a 'C'” that offers interesting insight.
The article says that in 2008 Kentucky ranked 33rd in Education Week’s ranking of state education systems and slipped to 34th this year.
Then, the article continues, “Susan Weston, an analyst for Kentucky's Prichard Committee for Academic Excellence, said the latest K-12 ranking shows the state has progressed but needs to do more.”
While I have a lot of doubts about EdWeek’s rankings, somehow going from 33rd to 34th place is hard to stretch into a picture of progress, at least over the last three years.

Apparently the Prichard Committee for Everyone Getting Along still believes that if you just say nice things everyone will like you and believe you are credible.
Everyone but the kids not getting a quality education that is.
