A tip of the hat to Stephen Krashen who sent a letter to the editor of the Los Angeles Times after they published an editorial on education reform insisting on “evidence-based, replicated, time-tested educational change.”
The Times is correct to insist on “evidence-based, replicated, time-tested educational change.” (“Education miracles that aren’t,” Feb. 6).

Nice pithy response Stephen.
