Are big efficient schools better than lots of small schools?
- bloaf 3y agohttps://www.americanscientist.org/article/the-most-dangerous-equation https://www.americanscientist.org/article/the-most-dangerous... This article makes a case that the statistics of small sample sizes has bamboozled many different well-intentioned groups, including the small school movement. The argument is that the fact that many of the best schools are small is an artifact of statistics (de Moivre's equation) rather than evidence small schools are superior.
