Teacher tenure is a problem. Teacher tenure is a solution. Fracking is safe. Fracking causes earthquakes. Our kids are over-tested. Our kids are not tested enough. We read claims like these in the newspaper, often with no justification other than 'it feels right'. How can we figure out what is right? Escaping from the clutches of truthiness begins with one question: 'what is the evidence?' With his usual verve, and disdain for pious nonsense, Howard Wainer offers a refreshing fact-based view of complex problems in a multitude of fields, with special emphasis in education, showing how to evaluate the evidence, or lack thereof, supporting various kinds of claims. His primary tool is causal inference: how can we convincingly demonstrate the cause of an effect? This wise book is a must-read for anyone who's ever wanted to challenge the pronouncements of authority figures and a captivating narrative that entertains and educates at the same time.
