Dear Betsy ...
Dear Betsy,Since you love education, please READ THIS:
http://www.latimes.com/business/hiltzik/la-fi-hiltzik-devos-vouchers-20170228-story.html
A few key findings, Betsy:
- "the studies report devastatingly bad results for students in those voucher programs."
- "they find huge declines of academic achievement among students in voucher programs."
- "students in Louisiana’s expanded program lost ground in their first two years in the program."
- "such impacts also appear to persist over time."
Betsy, I know that free-market education is supposed to solve all of the ills of public education, but ... data?
Sincerely,
RESEARCH
