My “The Hit Is In” series (Part I<\/a>, Part II<\/a>, Part III <\/a>and Part IV<\/a>) will be returning early next week.\u00a0 Here’s what’s going on.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I’m asking a number of charter schools for comments about specific allegations in the MN2020 report about their <\/em>schools.\u00a0 The report includes an appendix listing specific “discrepancies” by school; I am going to get the details about these issues directly from severl the schools involved.\u00a0 I’ve already spoken with three; it’s getting interesting.<\/li>\n
  2. I’m going to solicit comment about my questions, the schools’s responses, and impacts to the conclusions drawn, from MN2020.<\/li>\n
  3. I’m going over the media’s coverage of this report.\u00a0 I plan on asking some media figures about their coverage, which I’d call “fawning” in most cases, but the National Association of Fawners were embarassed to endorse it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    More, hopefully, on Monday.<\/p>\n

    Also – MN2020 is taking <\/a>some flak <\/a>elsewhere from Fitzgerald’s report.\u00a0 Their responses, so far?<\/p>\n

    Just a tad peevish<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    By attacking Minnesota 2020 in this fashion, Charter School Partners [the group behind the links above] is making excuses for poor performance.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    We’ll be going over what “poor performance” means next week.\u00a0 Stay tuned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
