• “Let me cut to the chase– I cannot recommend enough that you watch Defies Measurement, a new film by Shannon Puckett….The film is a clear-eyed, well-sourced look at the business of test-driven corporate-managed profiteer-promoted education reform, and it has several strengths that make it excellent viewing both for those of us who have been staring at these issues for a while and for teachers and civilians who are just now starting to understand that something is going wrong.” — Peter Greene
