Because our fellow participant Colin, who kindly submitted this link, enjoys thoughtful discussion of education reform, I have to let Colin know that this source (the blog hosted by the Washington Post newspaper from which this submission comes) is notoriously unreliable,[1] basically a mouthpiece for people who work in the current school system in the United States who do not desire for the system to change in the direction of finding out whether or not learners compelled to attend public schools actually learn anything while attending them. I have recommended to Colin before a much better source for more thoughtful articles on education policy issues, Education Next,[2] and I will recommend that site again for him and for onlookers here who would like to be part of an effort to improve schools around the world.
