The Best Of Our Knowledge #1295

If you go by the raw numbers, it looks like children of minority families are more likely to end up in special education programs. But if we’ve learned anything over the years it’s that number don’t nearly tell the whole story. Today on the Best Of Our Knowledge, we’ll talk to the co-author of a new study on minorities and special ed and learn why most preconceived notions are probably really wrong.

We’ll also spend some time yawning at an academic minute…and that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
