Reblogged from Diane Ravitch's blog:
A reader reminded me of a post by blogger Jonathan Pelto about Hartford, Connecticut, that shows how districts can "game the system" to meet testing target.
And that reminded me that Jon Pelto is someone you should know about. Subscribe to his blog if you want an insider's view of education reform in Connecticut.
Pelto was a legislator for several years and cares passionately about public education.
Diane Ravitch, via Jonathan Pelto, provides an excellent tutorial on the education reform politics going on in Connecticut
