<<His assessment should put to rest the idea that political considerations skewed either the content or timing of the recent, less-favorable assessment of Texas education. >> I wonder about the 180 on what was written in stone earlier.

Re: "I take it by your earlier citation that you accept the RAND CEO as an honest source." No, but I don't reject him as a biased or dishonest source, either. I don't know him or have reason either to blindly trust or distrust him. But I do recognize that he has a job to do, and part of it is defending and promoting his organization's public image. In any organization, I'm sure some employees might take political advantage if given the opportunity, and the CEO would have little choice but to defend the overall organization in public, even while he might be knocking some heads together behind closed doors. All conjecture, of course, but we might not ever know, right?
