(Crawford, 1999, pg. 316). How can a quote like this, written 20+ years ago apply to our education system today? jordanleet2_1 https://padlet.com/jordanleet2_1/hyavkle5k586whwe/wish/2722118237 2023-09-27 00:21:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jordanleet2_1/hyavkle5k586whwe/wish/2722118237 In the National Research Council Report, the idea of confirmation bias is introduced when they state "Most consumers of research are not researchers who want to know the truth, but advocates who are convinced of the absolute correctness of their positions" (Crawford, 1999, pg. 317). How can we as researchers and educators be affected by our own confirmation biases while also continuing to pursue what we believe is right? jordanleet2_1 https://padlet.com/jordanleet2_1/hyavkle5k586whwe/wish/2722127863 2023-09-27 00:28:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jordanleet2_1/hyavkle5k586whwe/wish/2722127863 How can Ron Unz’s method of campaigning for Proposition 227 be understood through one (or more) of the three security ideals, outlined by Stone?

Who does Proposition 227 seek to provide security to, and who or what does it seek to protect them from? jordanleet2_1 https://padlet.com/jordanleet2_1/hyavkle5k586whwe/wish/2722191805 2023-09-27 01:15:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jordanleet2_1/hyavkle5k586whwe/wish/2722191805 Does the concept of school choice (parents choosing what programs/schools their child participates in, described in Chapter 13) provide liberty to all students and families? Why or why not? And if it does provide liberty to all, is the liberty positive or negative liberty? jordanleet2_1 https://padlet.com/jordanleet2_1/hyavkle5k586whwe/wish/2723857484 2023-09-27 23:21:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jordanleet2_1/hyavkle5k586whwe/wish/2723857484
