Some governors were not amused and expressed their unhappiness. But the question is now being asked in all seriousness: Should students be held back?
Social media was filled with prank posts about kids in California, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania and other states all having to repeat this school year. There was so much discussion online about them that they reached the offices of governors and state education departments.
Utah Gov. Gary R. Herbert tweeted, “Now is not the time for irresponsible April Fool’s Day Jokes.” Washington’s state education department tweeted a similar message, calling it “an unfortunate” joke. The Sapulpa Times newspaper in Oklahoma apologized for a prank story saying kids had to repeat their grades, with owner and editor Micah Choquette writing that the “attempt to draw some humor into a time where it’s sorely needed” was “a mistake” and “not funny.”
