Bwahahaha!&#8221;  No, that&#8217;s not the conclusion of the paper, and I do not intend to join Evil Overlords Anonymous (but see <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ovff.org\/pegasus\/songs\/evil-overlord.html\">a song<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fictionalley.org\/authors\/bluemeanie11\/EOA01a.html\">Harry Potter fan fiction<\/a> for more on that). I do try to make a mild case in a few spots for the superiority of measures not based on grade level, but the main point of the paper was to demonstrate how sensitive most graduation-rate formulas are to graduation, and the problems that will be encountered as states try to meet their obligations under the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nga.org\/Files\/pdf\/0507GRADCOMPACT.PDF\">National Governors Association compact<\/a>.<br \/>\nBlogging about my research raises an interesting question, since the target journal has anonymous reviewing: would someone who reads my blog have to recuse herself or himself from being a referee? It&#8217;s akin to walking by and reading a conference poster closely and then receiving a review assignment of the later paper.  But sometimes you just can&#8217;t get around these things, and besides, you can be wrong about your assumptions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, the MS is now submitted to a journal that accepts papers online.
