• W293206931 abstract "The issue that Terry Moe raises in his article Cooking the Questions in the Spring 2002 issue of Education Next concerns Phi Delta Kappa's interpretations of findings from the 2001 Phi Delta Kappa/Gallup poll of the public's attitudes toward education. In a press release, Phi Delta Kappa concluded, is clear that the decade of the '90s saw support for the use of public funds for parents and students use in attending private and church-related schools increase, peak, and then begin what has become a significant decline:' This conclusion was based on responses the following questions: * Do you favor or oppose allowing students and parents choose a private school attend public expense? * A proposal has been made that would allow parents send their school-age children any public, private, or church-related school they choose. For those parents choosing nonpublic schools, the government would pay all or part of the tuition. Would you favor or oppose this proposal in your state? The first question was asked in 1993, repeated in 1995, and then repeated each year thereafter. The percentages in favor of public subsidies for private schooling have been: 1993 24% 1995 33% 1996 36% 1997 44% 1998 44% 1999 41% 2000 39% 2001 34% The second question was first asked in 1994, repeated in 1996, and repeated each year thereafter. The percentages in favor of public subsidies for private schooling have been: 1994 45% 1996 43% 1997 49% 1998 51% 1999 51% 2000 45% 2001 44% Moe refers the first question as biased, while he finds the second one actually informative and neutral, precisely the kind of item that should have been used all along. He challenges the trend documented in the first question, but fails note that the second question reflects precisely the same trend. It could just as easily have been used as the basis of Phi Delta Kappa's conclusion in its press release that support for vouchers increased, peaked, and then began a significant decline during the 1990s. The most interesting thing about Moe's challenge, however, is that it was not raised by voucher advocates during the period from 1993 through 1998, when support for vouchers as measured by both questions was climbing steadily. They were, in fact, pointing this poll and these questions as evidence that vouchers were gaining support. It was only when support stabilized and then began decline that the complaints started. It is, of course, nor surprising that there are differing interpretations of poll data on a topic as emotionally charged as vouchers. Terry Moe, an avowed advocate of vouchers, would be expected look with skepticism on poll results that indicate a decline in public support for them. Phi Delta Kappa, as an organization committed the public schools, would be expected view the decline positively. This does not mean that Phi Delta Kappa cannot and does not conduct a poll that is fair and unbiased. Phi Delta Kappa did, in fact, routinely report and comment accurately on the data during the period when support for choosing a private school attend at public expense was increasing. And, regarding the validity of the poll's findings, Phi Delta Kappa finds some measure of confirmation in the fact that its data could have been used predict the recent defeats of voucher proposals in both California and Michigan. Having said that, we would quickly acknowledge that results from a random sample in an opinion survey are not comparable results in an election in which those expressing an opinion do so by choice. Moe's concern with the first of the poll questions above is that it fails convey respondents the central purpose of a voucher program, that being to expand the choices available all qualifying parents, especially those who now have kids in public schools. …" @default.
