Editorial: Study points the way to better public schools : Stltoday
Mathematica, the think tank that carried out this research, is characterized by a generally pro-corporate model reform agenda in most of its research. Both the KIPP Foundation and the Walton Family foundation are clients of this think-tank. This suggests the possibility of a conflict of interests that jeopardizes the objectivity of the study. We would do well to await review by academic researchers without sponsored research agendas.
