You wanted it—and we gave you more in 2011.

But regardless of the topic’s popularity with readers, the debate over the Fraser Institute rankings was an important issue to tackle. Stories on the controversial report cards ranking public and private schools in Canada were among our most read articles this past year (and continue to be our top posts) on the Our Kids blog.

Our Kids’ Fraser Institute series broke our blog records, with the greatest number of pageviews in a day coinciding with the e-newsletter’s release in April featuring the analysis and reports.

Here is the Top 10 list of Our Kids’ most popular posts published from the past year.
