Doug writes (and I’m simply mirroring, as he says it so well):
The permissibility (or not) of specific data in school reform
initiatives is a bold imposition of power and politics on children and
their teachers. Data-driven recommendations for change will be useful
when we all agree on whose data counts, and when we reach consensus on
appropriate interventions. And that will happen when hell freezes over,
an event that appears increasingly improbable.
Yep. Read the rest of his post for the example that he uses to highlight his point. It’s a doozy.
