[quote=Anonymous]NP here.

You're being very presumptuous about your ability to make a meaningful contribution to academia with your side interest. You are also, apparently, not knowledgeable about the basics of good research design. Your interests are so vague and inarticulate that you don't even know that you don't know how to craft a research able question.

But, there's help for that. Start with NCES. You should also learn about accreditation standards. Educate yourself on qualitative as well as quantitative data analysis (most of the info you want is qual info). Forget the PP who said to look into newspaper articles unless those articles lead to peer reviewed studies. Draft several focus research questions and design a way to answer them. Even if you want to publish a meta study or a lit review or an annotated bibliography.. You need a focus.

Research is hard and publishing meaningful research even harder. Your post does not seem to respect this, so you can't be surprised that you are both confusing and insulting in your hubris.

That said, I personally love working with independent researchers who want to learn. Fire is good. GL.[/quote]
