Education Myths I

This Saturday, we will welcome Marcus Winters, contributor to Education Myths : What Special-Interest Groups Want You to Believe About Our Schools and Why it Isn't So, to the Northern Alliance Radio Network show. The books lists eighteen education myths and, to warm up for the appearance, I'm going to post three a day through Saturday. Here's the first three:

The Money Myth--"Schools perform poorly because they need more money."

The Special Ed Myth--"Special education programs burden public schools, hindering their academic performance."

The Myth of Helplessness--"Social problems like poverty cause students to fail; schools are helpless to prevent it."

Stay tuned for more throughout the week.
