Life in "Progress" City - Cincinnati edition

Cincinnati Public Schools held class fewer days than all but two of the state's 614 school districts in 2008-09, the most recent year for which data was available.

An Enquirer analysis of Ohio Department of Education statistics revealed that CPS logged 168 "session days," or days when students were required to be in school.

The only districts with fewer such days was Plain Local in Canton with 167 days and Youngstown City with 166 days. CPS tied three other districts, Eaton in Preble County, Yellow Springs in Greene County and Franklin Local in Muskingum County.

Let me see, Cincinnati Public Schools are in Hamilton County. As we noted, in a previous post, Hamilton County is wondering why people are fleeing the county for surrounding suburbs.

Is it possible that people have decided that paying higher taxes for poorly performing schools is kind of, uh, insane.

But the good news is that CPS actually doesn't have school too often which limits your child's exposure to a stabbing or rape.

Paying for schools that don't open.

Now that's "progressive"!
