Wonder Wonk Unmasked
A year ago, Jennifer Jennings sent a shockwave through education circles. A grad student at Columbia University, she was puzzled by the praise and criticism NYC mayor Michael Bloomberg received by taking over the city schools. Jennings, a sociology major and statistical nut, was troubled that the city wasn't doing a serious analysis of data to back up reform claims. So she started Eduwonkette, an anonymous blog, using school data to question assumptions. Jennings didn't expect 'her little blog' would cause such a fuss today.
