The Assessor Assessed: A "Revisionist" Looks at a Critique of the Sandia Report.
Bracey, Gerald W.
Journal of Educational Research, v88 n3 p136-44 Jan-Feb 1995
In critiquing the Sandia Report, Lawrence Stedman faulted it and other revisionist reports for emphasizing trend data rather than quality and not acknowledging educational requirements within a democratic society. The article addresses the issues, presenting evidence from additional studies to argue that none of Stedman's general contentions withstand scrutiny. (SM)
