This is exactly why a one-size-fits-all federal policy sucks. States need to be free to experiment with different ideas until the right formula is found; likely that formula will also differ between localities. Yet another reason why a fed solution sucks. As to your studies, I don't buy it. Studies are great, but rarely is a study on something this complicated predictive even to the people it's given too, much less others. A study is a snap shot in time that can used as a data point; you'd need decades of others to even begin to be predictive. Further, if the Charter/vouchers systems didn't produce better test scores, then they're still better because they offer something the old system doesn't: choice. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:177510 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
