Local Ed Reform Pushing Hard (But Looking Desperate)
The Times continues its ed reform push and, as we have previously reported, they continue to do it both editorially and in their reporting.
The latest example is in an article about a "poll" for the A-F grading for schools bill currently in the Legislature. (It passed in the Senate but hasn't gotten a committee vote yet in the House.)

The story does not say who commissioned the poll or who took the poll until the fifth paragraph. That is very odd and would seem to indicate that the Times was more interested in pushing the results than what the poll was about and who created it.
The article only states how many people took the poll (402) but not how many questions were on it nor what the questions were. We all know what a push poll looks like and I suspect this was one of them.
It appears there was a question on the A-F bill which came out 66% for and 29% against (but what the other 5%
