Special report: He was the son of a teacher, man!
Coming tomorrow—our thrilling conclusion (permalink): Tomorrow, we’ll end a two-week journey. In part, we’ll note that Ed Schultz was the son of a teacher, just like Jon Stewart. But wait! There will be more!
In the meantime:
Yesterday’s report included lots of test score data about the Texas public schools. All data came from the National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP), the widely-praised “gold standard” of educational testing.
For all NAEP data and information, your basic starting-point is here. But if you want detailed data about particular states, you will probably need to use the NAEP Data Explorer.
Click here, then click on the block which says “MAIN NDE.” You’ll have to fumble around till you learn how to use it. There’s no real way we can explain it. But all the data are there.
