Education Myths IV
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 ten through twelve:
The High Stakes Myth--"The results of high-stakes tests are not credible because they're distorted by cheating and teaching to the test."
The Push-Out Myth--"Exit exams cause more students to drop out of high school."
The Accountability Burden Myth--"Accountability systems impose large financial burdens on schools."
Stay tuned for more throughout the week.
