Worst Possible Spin Syndrome (Continued).
Bracey, Gerald W.
Phi Delta Kappan, v78 n6 p476-77 Feb 1997
When critiquing a 1992 IEA study of reading in 31 nations, Herbert Walberg unfairly panned U.S. reading instruction, considering that American 9-year-olds finished second and 14-year-olds tied for eighth place. Apparently, "progress" was down for high-scoring countries. Two UCLA researchers discovered that the Los Angeles student transiency rate is 43%; only 33% of first graders complete six years at the same school. (MLH)
