Submitted by Lance T. Izumi, J.D. on 12.12.2000
Last week, a new study showed that students from countries across the world outperformed U.S. students in science and mathematics. Our students were outperformed not only by the Japanese, but by the Bulgarians as well. More important, the study pointed to possible reasons for the underperformance of American students.
Whither Vouchers? Though NEA Won Battles This Year, It Will Lose The War
Submitted by Sally C. Pipes on 12.8.2000
On election night, National Education Association headquarters resembled a luxury skybox of a booster of the winning team, according to Education Week. The millions the NEA spent playing politics paid off in many contests, including the school choice initiatives in California and Michigan, and NEA officials were feeling their oats. “Elections are the polls that really matter,” said NEA president Bob Chase. “The resounding defeat of vouchers in Michigan and California should put an end to the myth that voters want vouchers.” NEA spokesperson Kathleen Lyons had similar thoughts. “It’s time to move on,” Lyons told Education Week. “It’s time voucher proponents got that message.”
