Turner painting:

Teacher effectiveness: An article in the Feb. 7 LATExtra section about a University of Colorado study of Los Angeles Unified School District teacher effectiveness said researchers found that up to 9% of math teachers and 12% of English teachers ended up in different categories than those in a separate analysis by The Times. These percentages referred only to teachers whom The Times rated as more effective than average but whom the Colorado researchers found to be indistinguishable from average. The story should have included an additional 7% of math teachers and 10% of English teachers whom The Times rated as less effective than average but, according to the Colorado study, were indistinguishable from average.
