"The results [from] 2010 and 2011 ...have not been questioned"

Former Atlanta schools chief Hall says recent scores "have not been questioned" [ajc | PolitiFact]
Hall submitted her commentary to Education Week on Aug. 9, according to its opinion editor. This is days after the AJC released its findings on the 2011 scores and more than a month after special investigators released their report.
She had more than enough time to figure out that GOSA, special investigators and the AJC have questioned her results.

Should I point out that there are three possible explanations for Dr Hall's statements and actions?

• Dishonest
• Incompetent
• Delusional

Which do you like? At this point, a combination of all three seems most likely (bubble-in D, "all of the above"), but I'm going to go with "delusional." Even now, she really doesn't think she's done anything wrong.

(I'm really amused that Education Week gave her the option to rephrase her comments after publication. Most public figures don't get that kind of... I'll call it "courtesy". Who do they think they are, the Congressional Record?)

(For those who don't know: The Congressional Record is "the official record of the proceedings and debates of the United States Congress", but it is not, in any sense, a transcript of what was actually said in session. Legislators can and do "correct" what they said "for the Record" to reflect what they "intended to say" and provide supporting data and additional exposition they didn't have time to say. They say.)

"Somewhere in this process, the truth got lost, and so did the children."

This is my favorite sentence from the Bowers/Wilson/Hyde report, hand-delivered to Governor Nathan Deal on June 30, regarding the now-infamous "culture of fear" surrounding the CRCT scandal.

Following are links to the 400-plus pages of the report that have been released publicly, divided into three PDF documents. Part 1; Part 2; Part 3. Seeing what has been included, I shudder to think what has been withheld.
