By Steve McGough / March 4, 2009 /

By offering school choice, many cities – including Washington D.C. – have been able to provide some kids with the opportunity to attend better performing schools.

As mentioned here and here, the administration is taking some heat after…

Muslim Public Charter School Exposed

By Steve McGough / April 13, 2008 / Comments Off on Muslim Public Charter School Exposed

This has certainly been a very quite story. What happens when kids pray together at a public school event? What happens when a valedictorian wants to mention God and her faith during a graduation ceremony? What happens when a teacher wears a cross in the classroom? We’ve all read about the results; students are barred…

Cato: The reality of money and jobs in public education

By Steve McGough / August 24, 2010 /

If you’re going to argue the reduction of public education funding or the reduction of the number of teachers/assistants/administrators will directly result in lower student performance, you need to show the increase in funding and positions within the system improved student performance in the first place.

UPDATE: Ray warned this morning, make sure this wasn’t photoshopped. We’ll keep an eye on it, but for now, it sure looks real to me. UPDATE 2: An RVO reader notes I am the king of typos. Indeed. That’s why I was willing to give this one a pass, until I saw the same word…

Teachers on both coasts paid to do nothing

By Steve McGough / May 7, 2009 /

I remember reading about this a couple of years ago. Now seems like a good time to bring it up again to see if there would be any backlash, and the Los Angeles Times has the story written by Jason Song. Teachers across California and in New York City are being paid their full salary…

Take the Intercollegiate Studies Institute civics quiz

By Steve McGough / December 3, 2008 /

I’m going to be blunt. There are a lot of ignorant Americans walking the streets of this great country, and I’m not sure what to do about it.
