Education

If you were to name the academic subject most important to learning, what would it be?

The U.S. Department of Education (http://www2.ed.gov/parents/academic/help/succeed/part4.html) says it’s reading.

Helping your child become a reader is the single most important thing that you can do to help the child to succeed in school—and in life. The importance of reading simply can’t be overstated. Reading helps children in all school subjects. More important, it is the key to lifelong learning.

Just as parents examine their child’s report card to see how well he is doing, so, too, can anyone with Internet access look at each Kentucky public school’s or district’s report card to see how it is performing.

Each year, School and District Report Cards are posted on the Kentucky Department of Education’s (KDE’s) website. These Report Cards provide information including test performance, teacher qualifications, student safety, awards, parent involvement and much more.
