In my other life (as a Hoover Institution fellow and chairman of the Koret Task Force on K-12 education), I've lately?had the pleasure of joining Bill Evers and other task force members in distilling the most important education events of the past year and sorting them into ?best? and ?worst? columns. In yesterday's Hoover release, you'll find five entries under each heading, a total of nine notable events. (Not a computational error: Race to the Top, for reasons explained in the release, made it onto BOTH lists.)
See if you agree with our verdicts.
