Some school districts considering 4-day week
"'It's hard to get to the why, of course, because so many things affect student achievement,' said Andrea D. Beesley of Mid-continent Research for Education and Learning in Denver."
It's difficult to see this mistake without the entire article, but it's still apparent. The sentence before this one says that 4-day school weeks have led to better performance by students. My problem with this quote is that it doesn't say anything Why include this quote, saying that they don't know why the phenomena is happening? Readers want positive statements, not negative statements. Quotes should be powerful. You shouldn't quote someone saying they don't know, unless that ignorance is important.
