Something to get you thinking...

Despite the provocative headline, did you get the feeling that they were telling you what you already know about quality schools? And unless I just read right past it, I don't think the researcher interviewed parents as part of what leads to academic success, which I thought was interesting since he seems to have researched just about every other group. Thanks for posting--I always enjoy reading stuff like this!

I agree with you Holly. Once again, it's hard to quantify exactly what happens in education. The major issue always has been that public never gets to the heart of the research and basis their opinions on fancy titles and pretty pictures/graphs.

Loved this Sean! Thanks! It is hard to get inspired about next year already, but this was good!
