Abstract: Our detailed review discusses each of the cited papers, demonstrating that none appear to substantiate Koch’s claims. Given the serious implications of Koch’s statements, and their potential impact on public policy, we make the following recommendations: 1) Retraction: Dr. Martha Koch should retract her Winnipeg Free Press article, as it gives readers the misleading impression that her claims are supported by research. 2) Policy Caution: The Manitoba government should consult more broadly, and exercise greater caution when relying on education research, to inform policy decisions.
