Meh, I'll let TokenAdult post the very long and detailed refutation of the statistics themselves and the validity of the questions being asked. You seem to be saying that we shouldn't care about controlling for variables like this I'm saying that those variables and the questions that this "expert" chose to put forth miss the mark on the questions that should be asked and the variables that should be examined. But you don't tell us why, or what statistics would be preferable I did tell you why. My guess is that if you thought that choice was important in education then my thinly veiled sarcasm about choice would have caught your attention. Regarding statistics, the statistic alone that typically Charter schools receive less per student than mainstream public schools renders questionable every other statistic that this article mentioned.
