Edison Scores and Scores Again in Boston.
Chubb, John E.
Phi Delta Kappan, v80 n3 p205-12 Nov 1998
Peggy Farber's stories (in the March 1998 "Kappan") about a few individuals at Boston Renaissance Charter School have a place in evaluating the program. However, the real story cannot be drawn from a few isolated, highly selective anecdotes. A balanced evaluation would have framed the discussion around the schools' progress with special-needs students and its phenomenal success. (MLH)
