When you demand "research-based" changes in education, be sure you don't mean this Bunkum research. Read about one report that "attributes positive reform outcomes to policy changes that had not yet been implemented." Or another that "cherry-picks a few weak studies to critique proposals." Or the special Friedman prize to the Friedman Foundation, which has "cloned the same study on the cost of drop-outs in at least seven states, a tax credit voucher report in at least six states, and opinion polls on school choice in 15 states."
