The #schoolvouchers crowd loves to site my decade old PSJ paper using matched Milwaukee data to show small positive effects on attainment.

But they ignore my 3 other studies in far better journals that look awful for vouchers and are more informative to policy today

First up in @EEPAjournal: in “Life After Vouchers” we show low-income and Black students exit #schoolvouchers at higher rates and DO BETTER once returning to Milwaukee Public Schools @DianeRavitch

Next up in @aerj_journal in “Going Public” we deep dive into those kids who give up #schoolvouchers and show they are historically underserved and come from “pop up” voucher schools founded to take tax $

Finally—and hoooo boy will you not see the #schoolvouchers crowd citing THIS @EEPAjournal Milwaukee study—in “High Stakes Choice” we show creating #NCLB-style oversight #accountability for vouchers is critical to ensuring voucher performance.

I know it seems like inside baseball to folks outside the professional research community but there isn’t a single education scholar who wouldn’t tell you @EEPAjournal and @aerj_journal are in a different level of seriousness than something like “Journal of Free Enterprise”

5/5
