Eviden...Sorry, needed to make a punctuation edit...<br />Evidently it needs to be spelled out for you Mr. Buck. BECAUSE they found no significant difference in the achievement levels of voucher students (else they would have shouted from the rooftops), they decided to claim that both voucher and public school students made gains attributable to voucher program. This is so absurd, I can't believe they stated it.<br />Had that grade level made any gains BEFORE the program began? Considering that the national trend is for students to make improvements from year to year, I'm going to guess that you think they'd be justified in saying that the voucher program was beneficial to all students nationwide as well?<br />Another question, Why are they afraid to have the voucher students take the SAME TEST, the FCAT, that the public school students take so apples may be compared to apples?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09094300924608829227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9025948832913694345.post-18244895580247480832012-08-31T12:05:14.032-07:002012-08-31T12:05:14.032-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09094300924608829227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9025948832913694345.post-17640387351161537702012-08-27T12:19:41.354-07:002012-08-27T12:19:41.354-07:00If it's a "blow" for vouchers to be ...If it's a "blow" for vouchers to be found to have improved education across the board in Florida -- both in public schools and for the voucher students who are keeping pace (see your own highlighted sentence) -- then I wonder what it would take to have a "success"?Stuart Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05731724396708879386noreply@blogger.com
