I'm sure that both organizations would bill this as "enabling an important conversation about education" or some such, but this is roughly equivalent to "enabling an important conversation about geography" by starting with a movie that fudges facts to talk about the world being flat.
C'mon here: this is the movie (this is no particular order):
- fudged one of the stories of one of the students
- cites data on teachers losing credentials that no one else can find (scienctific peer review, anyone?)
- once again misrepresents whom the charter schools in the film take and how well they do (more on this below)
- entirely misunderstands NAEP data
- and on and on
And to Holy Cross and the Research Bureau: let's try to have conversations that start from a factual basis, shall we?
