People who want to rank high control the criteria. I was citing John Dewey who has a lot more clout in ed circles than Morgan.
John Dewey has been dead for over 50 years.
Morgan compiles data on education that is applicable to here and now.
Dewey was about early 20th century education philosophy. Morgan is about education results in 2007.
Nothing against Dewey but he has nothing to do with evaluating performance in today's schools.
