The New York Times asked 37 of the top scholars studying K-12 education to rank 30 popular approaches to improving student achievement. The worst value and 3rd-least effective choice was private school vouchers.
The top 5 most effective approaches were:
-Small group tutoring
-Science of reading
-Universal pre-K
-Increase per-student funding
-Increase teacher pay in high-poverty schools
Wisconsin kids deserve a world-class public education. What we don't need is more privatization.
