About The Think Twice Think Tank Review Project:The goal of Think Twice is to ensure that decisions made about public school reform are based on sound academic research as opposed to special interest propaganda disguised as research. To that end, the Think Twice project contracts with university researchers across the country to provide reviews of selected think tank reports. Any report under review will be identified below with the animated "Under Review" logo and you will be sent the review upon completion.
