Drive-by Critics and Silver Bullets.
Houston, Paul D.; Schneider, Joe
Phi Delta Kappan, v75 n10 p779-82 Jun 1994
Criticizes the William Bennett/Emily Feistritzer "Report Card on American Education 1993" for misrepresenting the "crisis" condition of U.S. education. State rankings of SAT scores flatten data and exaggerate differences. Bennett also ignores influence of limited English proficiency, poverty, and percentage of test-takers on state rankings. Society can achieve high SAT scores by denying low-income students access to the test. (MLH)
