Rejoinder: On Comparing the Incomparable: A Response to Baker and Stedman.

Bracey, Gerald W.

Educational Researcher, v26 n3 p19-26 Apr 1997

Responds to David Baker's critical essay (1996) concerning G. W. Bracey's arguments that a false academic achievement crisis had been government engineered and that U.S. students were, in fact, comparing well to their international counterparts. Discusses shared issues between L. C. Stedman (1993, 1996) and Baker, and explores data and contentions unique to Stedman's critique on comparisons in international academic achievement. (GR)
