The comments to this entry are closed.
This book is not another ill-conceived, speculative fillip describing another grandiose fad to be ultimately heaped on the ever growing garbage pile of failed educational reforms that have brought our educational establishment to its knees in the inner cities compared to the education provided by high achieving countries.
The depth and breath of the analysis of educational research combined with the objectivity and precision of a great intellect will make this book an enduring canon in education;perhaps it will bethe beginning of a Renaisance resurgence in the educational domain.
The only objections will comefrom vested interests and educational lobbyists in the private sphere.

Nice post!! Glad Diane changed her mind....to me... a sign of a truely educated person is the ability to change when presented more information....hope i can live up to that definition myself as i continue to grow and learn.

According to my monitoring, billions of people on our planet receive the loans from well known creditors. Thence, there's a good chance to receive a short term loan in any country.

Great teachers need their content knowledge to be fluently available to them in the context of typical classroom situations. To get this fluency, they need to practice in such situations---and practice linking actions (especially their verbal utterances) to specific classroom situations.

Managers have to be available. So many managers are just too busy to be available. Stop going to all those meetings with folks senior to you!! Your job is to get work done through your direct reports---you need to be there for them.

I suppose that Ravitch began her career as an editorial assistant at the New Leader magazine, a small journal devoted to democratic ideas. In 1975, she became a historian of education with a Ph.D. from Columbia University.

Diane Ravitch is one of the most important public intellectuals of our time. In this powerful and deftly written book, she takes on the big issues of American education today, fearlessly articulating both the central importance of strong public education and the central elements for strengthening our schools.
