There are a few questionable statements and conclusions in this article, for example her belief that we shouldn't worry about students who score at the 'basic' level on NAEP is highly questionable, although admittedly it's a bad test. In general though I think she's correct that the idea that the free market will fix our school system is absurd. But she wildly overstates both the quality of public schools, as well as the possibility of improving them.

All in all though it's probably the best analysis of the movie I've seen so far, which in itself is kind of sad.
