WELCOME, EVERYBODY. I AM PRESIDENT OF THE INSTITUTE, AND IT'S INDEED FITTING THAT OUR INTRODUCER TODAY... |
| 00:02:08 |
|
|
| 00:02:14 |
|
SAY THAT I COMPLETED 11 NEW YORK CITY MARATHONS, BUT I SAY THAT I HAVE DONE THAT BECAUSE IN MY BUSINESS,... |
| 00:02:23 |
|
ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT THE MAYORAL CAMPAIGN KNOW HOW IMPORTANT IT IS THAT WE HAVE THIS... |
| 00:04:07 |
|
WELL, THANK YOU, HERMANN AND LARRY. THANKS THE MANHATTAN INSTITUTE, ALL OF YOU FOR BEING HERE. AND... |
| 00:05:11 |
|
JUST ASK YOUR FAVORITE TEACHER WHAT HE OR SHE THINKS ABOUT THE ELABORATE STATISTICAL ANALYSES, AND... |
| 00:32:22 |
|
GOOD POINT. I WILL HAVE TO WORK THAT INTO THE NEXT. BUT WITH EDUCATION GROUPS, AGAIN IN PART BECAUSE... |
| 00:34:25 |
|
I'M SORRY. ACTUALLY, ONE OTHER THING IS YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE MICROPHONE BECAUSE IT IS ON C-SPAN,... |
| 00:34:48 |
|
THERE. OK. WHILE WE WAIT FOR THAT, I WILL JUST GO LIKE THIS. [LAUGHTER] |
| 00:35:02 |
|
OH, BOY, INTERESTING. YEAH. I'M SORRY. |
| 00:35:05 |
|
TESTING, ONE, TWO, THREE. EVERYBODY HEAR ME NOW? |
| 00:35:10 |
|
IS IT SHOWING UP ON C-SPAN? YES. GOOD. OK. |
| 00:35:12 |
|
CONSIDERING THE ENORMOUS POLITICAL POWER OF THE TEACHERS UNION, I WONDER HOW MUCH FARTHER AHEAD WE... |
| 00:35:24 |
|
YOU KNOW, I THINK ONE OF THE GREATEST SOURCES OF POWER OF THE TEACHERS UNIONS IS THE BELIEF THAT --... |
| 00:37:07 |
|
RIGHT. |
| 00:37:09 |
|
MY QUESTION TO YOU, IS IT A MYTH THAT SCHOOLS CANNOT OVERCOME OR OVERWHELM SUCH THINGS AS A LACK OF... |
| 00:37:30 |
|
WELL, I JUST KNEW THAT THE QUESTIONS WERE GOING TO JUST PICK UP OUR OTHER -- THE OTHER MYTHS IN THE... |
| 00:40:14 |
|
YES, YES. I KNOW YOU WILL AGREE -- OOPS. IS IT WORKING? |
| 00:40:19 |
|
GO AHEAD. |
| 00:40:24 |
|
MYTH, VERY HIGH INTELLECTUAL STANDARDS. LET'S TAKE JUST FOUR VERY QUICK THINGS, BAD DATA, SELECTIVE... |
| 00:40:46 |
|
LET ME TAKE THEM ONE AT A TIME. |
| 00:40:47 |
|
OK. |
| 00:40:49 |
|
IN FACT, I THINK I WAS CLEAR IN SAYING IF WE LOOK AT 12TH GRADE, BECAUSE IT'S THE END PRODUCT OF OUR... |
| 00:41:38 |
|
YOU CITE SHOWS THAT THE PROBLEM OF MONEY IS NOT ENTERING SALARIES OF TEACHERS, WHERE SHE ARGUES THEY... |
| 00:41:47 |
|
RIGHT, BUT THE RANGE THAT TEACHERS, THEN, CAN ENJOY. AGAIN, THIS MAY BE IN YOUR BOOK, BUT I THINK... |
| 00:42:03 |
|
RIGHT. |
| 00:42:06 |
|
THAT MIGHT ACTUALLY BE QUITE EXPENSIVE TO REMEDY, AND WE CAN TALK ABOUT THAT, BUT AGAIN, BY COMPRESSING... |
| 00:42:20 |
|
WELL, ALL STATEMENTS RISK OVERSIMPLIFICATION, AND THERE WAS EITHER PROFESSOR STANLEY HOFFMAN WHO WOULD... |
| 00:43:08 |
|
ONE LAST THING. THE STUDIES YOU CITE FROM OTHERS YOU VERY WELL KNOW ARE MUCH CRITICIZED. I THINK THERE'S... |
| 00:43:48 |
|
WELL, I THINK WE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO USE THE DATA THAT WE HAVE, AND I AGREE QUALITY OF DATA IN EDUCATION... |
| 00:44:27 |
|
I THINK I WOULD KIND OF LIKE TO HOP RIGHT OFF THE LAST THING YOU SAID. AS MUCH AS YOU HAVE ADDRESSED... |
| 00:46:39 |
|
SEVERAL YEARS AGO, THE NEW YORK ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOLERS AND THE CITY UNIVERSITY ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOLERS,... |
| 00:47:43 |
|
OK. ON THE FIRST ITEM, ON SOCIAL PROMOTION, WE ACTUALLY HAVE A STUDY ON THE EFFECTS OF ENDING SOCIAL... |
| 00:50:07 |
|
THANK YOU. CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR BOOK, JAY. |
| 00:50:11 |
|
OH, THANKS. |
| 00:50:13 |
|
LET ME PREFACE MY QUESTION BY SAYING THAT I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU ON THE MONEY MYTH. I THINK IT'S... |
| 00:50:36 |
|
RIGHT. |
| 00:50:37 |
|
WILL NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE. |
| 00:50:38 |
|
RIGHT. |
| 00:50:39 |
|
WHEREAS THERE COULD BE A PLAUSIBLE ARGUMENT THAT SPENDING MONEY ON THINGS THAT ARE RESEARCH-BASED,... |
| 00:50:50 |
|
RIGHT. |
| 00:50:52 |
|
WOULD ACTUALLY MAKE A TANGIBLE DIFFERENCE IN RAISING ACHIEVEMENT. |
| 00:50:55 |
|
I ACTUALLY AGREE WITH THAT, AND, IN FACT, THE BOOK IS MORE NUANCED THAN MY SPEECH. THE CURSE OF TIME... |
| 00:52:09 |
|
YES, BACK HERE. |
| 00:52:10 |
|
THIS IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. I FEEL LIKE THERE'S A MYTH OUT THERE, AND MAYBE I AM WRONG ABOUT THIS,... |
| 00:52:33 |
|
RIGHT. I AM NOT FAMILIAR WITH THAT STUDY. AND IT ISN'T IN THE BOOK. AND ACTUALLY, IT'S A NICE OPPORTUNITY... |
