Your article on the Milwaukee school - choice evaluation («New Studies on Private Choice Contradict Each Other,» Sept. 4, 1996) accurately reports that our study of the Milwaukee choice program found that choice students outperformed a comparable control group of Milwaukee Public Schools students on standardized
tests by a considerable amount after three and four years of experience in the choice schools.
Unlike you, I do not have a «Magic 8 Ball», but I see that a
considerable amount of money is being spent to do a large - scale
test at CERN of the GCR cloud nucleation hypothesis suggested
by Henrik Svensmark (and others) to have been a significant driver of our climate, which Svensmark et al.
tested in at a small scale in the laboratory.
