Not extensively.  I find his postings to be long and tedious.  Since he is
hyped on graphs and graphics, I lightly skimmed over the long and tedious
text and carefully reviewed the graph at the end of his posting.  I based my
opinion on the graph that Mr. Courtney was so gracious to provide.

Thanks again, Mr. Courtney,

Tom Hansen

Gee, Tom, did you even read what Mr. Courtney wrote?

Mr. Courtney -

Based on your own posting (specifically the graph near the end), I conclude
that the analysis of smaller class size and educational quality improvement
here in the United States provides "inconclusive results".  This clearly
reflects that there is insufficient evidence (within the study) to tip the
scales in either direction.  Bottomline:  The study was meaningless.
