A story in the March 12, 2008, issue of Education Week on home-schoolers should have said that home-schoolers in Wisconsin oppose legislation to more closely regulate virtual charter schools.

An article in the same issue about international benchmarking mischaracterized Achieve Inc.’s work in Peru. While Achieve is presenting some of its findings on academic standards in that country, the group is not studying Peru’s standards.
