Diane Ravitch Talks about “Waking Up the Town” to Face the War on Public Education

I got to meet Diane Ravitch today as she served on a panel at Netroots about the war on public education. She spoke with amazing authority about what is going on in public education now with the overemphasis on testing, the blaming of teachers and teachers unions, and the right-wing money that is being poured into the movement for “education reform.” The best way to experience what went on is to watch the video.

Link to video of the panel.

  2. That was a great session. I like that in NY they used Act-UP style tactics too! And the leader of the small charter on the south end of Providence, I definitely want to learn more about that.
