Last week we talked with WBEZ Education Reporter Linda Lutton about her latest investigation. “The Big Sort”… a whole new level of tracking.

We talk to Michael Petrilli, executive vice president of the Thomas B. Fordham Institute on his reaction to the data. Photo: Flickr/US Department of Education
