The Education Department RIF represents “a tsunami,” says Felice Levine, executive director of the American Educational Research Association. “It leaves IES without even a skeletal staff to do the work that Congress has mandated.” www.science.org/content/arti...

My experience with NCES data in my masters degree was what got me interested in leaving the classroom and doing education research as a career. We've learned so much from NCES surveys and it breaks my heart that we are turning our back on it as a country.

If you can read this, thank a teacher. And also a researcher. Education improves through research and excellent research requires funding.
