The Edison Project Scores--and Stumbles--in Boston.
Farber, Peggy
Phi Delta Kappan, v79 n7 p506-11 Mar 1998
Evidence from the Boston Renaissance Charter School suggests that the Edison Project is struggling fitfully to learn school management. Reliance on suspension and physical restraints demonstrates Edison Project's lack of experience with inner-city children. Test scores are up, but faculty are warring over school mission, teachers are struggling to control classrooms, and a few vocal parents are moving to oust the principal. (MLH)
