Official first day of our partnership with Schools Matter – @ THE CHALK FACE knows SCHOOLS MATTER:
by Timothy D. Slekar
Yesterday I posted
this blog in response to a RAND “opinion” piece that was published in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. This morning while looking at my personal Facebook site I found this from RAND:
All of RAND’s published research is peer-reviewed. Following is a selection of peer-reviewed studies concerning accountability in education.
So that’s their comeback? ”We are peer reviewed.”

And this from an organization that in their title uses the word “venture,” a term commonly associated with a business enterprise that assumes risk with the potential for remunerative gain.
Am I adding irony here that shouldn’t be?

As we announced late last week, we formed a partnership with the longstanding education blog Schools Matter. We began to see our goals and ideologies dovetail increasingly over the months and years, deciding that together we are stronger. You’ll notice some slight variations to our homepage layout. I thought we may need to take the site down temporarily to reorganize, but disruptions were kept to a minimum and we should be all set.
On the right sidebar, you’ll notice an about page and listing of authors for Schools Matter. The menu at the top of the page includes About pages for each author. Again, we want to preserve the identities of both sites here. And, even though our goals are similar, there are some distinctions that we’d like to preserve as best as we can.
Enjoy and share the new content and commentary. We appreciate all of your support.
