This can be a very useful service. Hopefully it will also help expose some of the politicized, pseudo-scientific nonsense in the guise of research that is used to justify destructive policies.

But why are neither of the reporters indicative of the NYC school’s populations?

This is awesome! Even when research points clearly in certain directions (such as highly effective teachers don’t teach to the test, or learning styles don’t matter to pedagogy), it somehow always seems to get lost in the blather. I can’t wait to see future posts.

What a great idea–useful research findings. I’m serious. Academics spend hours burnishing their egos over studies published in journals read by audiences in the high two digits. And policy-makers? “We don’t need no stinkin’ research.” Glad you’re doing this.
