Stossel Manufacturing Another Crisis in Education
Thorough researchers take note of the full demographic information regarding the student population in all the countries that are being compared. When test results for only the best and brightest in other countries are compared with the test results for the entire student population in the U.S. it is easy to give an impression that American schools are falling behind. For reliable research on public school performance, I look to Dr. David Berliner, professor of Education at the University of Arizona. His book, The Manufactured Crisis: Myths, Fraud and the Attack on America's Public Schools, is the best single source for information about the successes and failures of America's system of public education. Here's a link to an online archive of some of his essays, Op-Eds, and papers. I suspect he will write a review and critique of Stossel's report shortly after it is broadcast.
To listen to a podcast of a "Religious Talk" radio interview with Dr. Berliner, here's a link to the first half-hour, and here's a link to the second half-hour of my interview with him.
