In a research done by Sarah Thuele Lubienski and her husband Christopher, they found that once they controlled for a family's socioeconomic background, students who attended public school actually outperformed private school slightly.

I enjoyed this article! I enjoy the debates of whether public or private schools are better. I like that the writers pointed out that many public schools are doing better than private schools. There are so many factors that come into play when dealing with topics such as these. For instance, parental involvement. There's more than what meets the eye, many people need to see that rather than set their hearts on one type of school that is "correct". Good stuff!

I totally agree with ending of this article and how children do in school.(its truly up to if students like their teachers). What happened to that parental support so that with any teacher a student can be successsful. Every time the debate comes up I really wonder how much control the students have over US teachers.

This article focuses on how students fare when taking history courses from coaches or persons who might not have a strong history background. After one college student does poorly in a coach taught college history course, the author points out ways coaches can improve teaching history and become more effective teachers. The implementation of the Coaching History playbook was established to help Texas coaches who teach history improve their instruction.

Sounds neat. Learning how to coach coaches to teach is a good idea. After they can apply their craft to teaching, they can improve.
