As Chair of the Committee to Eliminate Uninformative Bare URL's
(CEUBURLS), I feel obligated to replace MPG's uninformative bare URL with
the informative academic reference "A Personal Response to Those Who Bash
Teacher Education" [Berliner (2000)].
Among other online articles by Berliner
<http://coe.asu.edu/elps/faculty/berliner.php> that might be of interest
to those concerned with education are Berliner (1992, 1993, 2001, 2002,
2005); Amrien & Berliner (2002); and Nichols and Berliner (2007).

Corrupts America's Schools." Harvard Education Press. See
<http://www.hepg.org/hep/Book/62>, which carries the praise of UCLA
emeritus professor W. James Popham: "This savage assault on high-stakes
testing in education arrives with a clear concern about those most harmed
by high-stakes tests-students and teachers. Nichols and Berliner provide a
carefully reasoned analysis laced with frightening accounts drawn from
public schools. Not merely another pummeling of No Child Left Behind, this
is a readable evisceration of the premise that our schools can be
evaluated with a single indicator. If you care about public schooling,
this is required reading."
