  5. Education miracles that aren't

    Beware of education miracles. Too often, there's less there than meets the eye.

Bush administration. Only years later was it discovered that schools were recording students as having "transferred" when they had in fact dropped out, and that students who were expected to do badly on standardized tests were often kept from taking them.
