Education Myths V
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 thirteen through fifteen:
The Inconclusive Research Myth--"The evidence on the effectiveness of vouchers is mixed and inconclusive."
The Exeter Myth--"Private schools have higher test scores because they have more money and recruit high-performing students while expelling low-performing students."
The Draining Myth--"School choice harms public schools."
Stay tuned for the final three tomorrow and be sure to listen in to the NARN at 1pm when we'll discuss the entire list.
