study leader Dr. Muhammad Amer, an assistant professor in the division of general internal medicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine

Johns Hopkins is considered among the best, if not the best, medical facility in the country. I don't care what his name is, the study should be viewed on its merits and findings.

IMO, Hopkins is the best! I worked as an RN in their emergency room for a while, and I was thoroughly impressed!

Oh, the tales I could tell about some of the patients we saw there..................

About ten years ago my school system purchased a reading and math system based on the fact that it was produced by Johns Hopkins. The elementary teachers use it with glee because everything is scripted. Every Monday the students do the same thing, every Tuesday the students do the same thing, etc. There is even a scripted list of how to complement the students when they do well. The teachers have to do very little. Unfortunately I have classrooms full of functional illiterates and the math department can’t even get students to do simple math without calculators. This is all thanks to the Johns Hopkins program that we accepted on faith of the creator. Of course we will not get rid of the program because it’s not the program’s fault doncha know.
