教育部助理部长芬恩声称，公众对许多教育研究持怀疑态度，将其与教育时尚主义或“尖刻的知性主义”联系在一起。芬恩博士认为，公众持有这些看法是因为教育研究“没有产生足够的研究结果供美国人使用，甚至没有看到使用”，“没有履行其在改善我们学校的努力中的作用”，并且他暗示，没有为人们提供“可靠和有效的教育孩子的方法”（第5页）。通过报道而不是反驳公众的看法，助理国务卿是否同意他们的观点？我们认为是这样。
A ssistant Secretary of Education Finn claims that the public regards much of educational research with skepticism, associating it with either educational faddism or "pointy-headed intellectualism." The public holds these perceptions because, according to Dr. Finn, education research hasn't "produced enough findings that Americans can use or even see the use of," "has not fulfilled its role in the effort to improve our schools" and, he implies, has not provided people with "reliable and effective methods of instruction for their children" (p. 5). By reporting and not refuting public perceptions, is the Assistant Secretary agreeing with them? We think so.
