For Laura Waters, Newark Charters Have A Certain... Special... Something...
Once again, Laura Waters demonstrates that facts, or even common sense, mean very little in the world of reform.
I've written a couple of posts already about the CREDO study. I've written about the questionable conclusions drawn by the authors of the study, and how their ties to the reform world may explain how they came to such conclusions. Bruce Baker has dissected the Newark Effect demonstrated in the study not once, but twice. Julia Sass Rubin of Save Our Schools New Jersey has asked some very pertinent questions of the authors of the study.
But leave it to Ms. Waters to just come to her own conclusions, based on... well, based on nothing but her own reformy fantasies.
