QUESTION OF THE DAY: Should legislators implement letter-based report cards for Missouri schools?

KMIZ

The Missouri Senate Education Committee held a hearing before a packed house Tuesday on a bill that would create a letter-grade report card system for public schools.

Supporters say it will help parents identify the best places for their kids and provide incentives for schools to improve. Critics say it will stigmatize some schools and does nothing to help struggling schools get better.

Do you think it's a good idea? Let us know by voting in the poll.
