Mission of this Web Site...

The most asked question is, "Why? Why do spend so much time, energy, and expense on these exposes? What is the payoff? Do you have a competing product?" No, I don't have a competing product. But I do get really upset when people are being ripped off by false advertising. I have found that federal and state agencies rarely respond to false advertising by promoters of educational products. Also, I have found that there is no publication that provides a critical analysis of research studies. Our goal is to fill this gap.

For this reason, we are planning to create The Educational Research Analysis Newsletter if people show enough interest. If you would like a free copy, send an email to gadams@edresearch.com. Also, your feedback will help us analyze the potential interest in this newsletter.
