Making the same point again (and I'm going to keep bringing it up until something changes): "The traditional gold-standard approach to research—a randomized control trial (RCT)—is not worth its weight as we move to a student-centered education system that personalizes for all students so that they succeed," writes Michael B. Horn. As AltSchool's Max Ventilla says, "Something that's better for 70 percent of the kids and worse for 30 percent of the kids—that's an unacceptable outcome."
