The best data to demonstrate change in a population is comparable cohort longitudinal data.

Cross cultural studies are terribly difficult to do well because of the difficulty of getting genuinely comparable measures,

Measures of "achievement" are difficult to come up with. Sometimes they differ on conceptual grounds

John,
With that...you have totally convinced me you are part of the problem...not part of the solution.

If class size was the ultimate measurement as you are trying to feed us...you would not be a college professor. The pay scale would be too low.

Testing is going to be the solution. Teachers are going to have to teach what the neighborhood wants the kids to learn...freedom in the classroom is going to exist...but you are going to have to perform and that performance is going to be tested regularly and often.

Sorry to inform you John, but America thinks the free ride for teachers needs to come to an end. If you cannot perform to a standard (as the rest of us must), find another job..if you can.
