Abstract | This article focuses on the reports produced by the National Center for Education Statistics which rely too much on subjective judgments. The two studies--which used data from the National Assessment of Educational Progress that were adjusted for student and school differences--reported generally favorable academic results for regular public schools when compared with private schools and public charter schools. Mark S. Schneider, the commissioner of the NCES, said of the private school study that it was not proper for the NCES to have directed a report that went so far in making judgments about how to interpret raw school data. He further adds that in the near future he would not support having the NCES produce a report in which researchers made similarly subjective judgments about which student characteristics to consider. Despite of the debate, Mr. Schneider said that his concerns were his own, and that Bush administration officials did not try to influence his views on the subject. (ERIC). |
