Tired Rhode

There are plenty of toss-ups in education policy – places where people can read the evidence and facts and come to different conclusions about what to do next.  Whether it make sense to allow Achievement First to expand its schools in Rhode Island – where the mayor of Cranston wants to bring them and where they would be schools of choice for parents – is not one of them. AF schools have demonstrated solid results, the “mayoral academy” idea pioneered by Cumberland Mayor McKee is a solid policy innovation, all that’s left to argue about is politics.
