More CAP clap trap on class size reduction; who are they trying to fool?
Last week, the Center for American Progress released a report by Matthew Chingos, who previously wrote ahighly-flawed critique of Florida’s class size reduction program. (See my recent debate with Chingos on CNN.)
CAP has put out a series of crude reports posing as educational research, but this must be one of the least impressive. Despite its title, “The False Promise of Class-Size Reduction,” lowering class size is only one of K-12 four reforms that, according to the Institute of Education Sciences, have been proven to work through rigorous evidence.
In this report, Chingos falsely claims that that the benefits of smaller classes, as shown by the Tennessee STAR
