Dora Taylor is a prominent education activist in in Seattle.
In her review of “Reign of Error,” Taylor says the book is an excellent guide to what is happening in school districts across America.
She writes:
“Dr. Ravitch shatters one corporate reform myth after another with clarity providing excellent background information in the Notes and Appendix of this book.
“Because of her courageousness and direct approach, expect the corporate media to attack her because no one is left standing in this book, at least on the reform side, from President Obama’s support of school privatization to the machinations of Michelle Rhee.
“This book is a perfect reference guide to all things ed reform. Don’t understand much about test scores? Check out the chapters “The Facts About Test Scores” and “The Facts About International Test Scores”. Don’t know the history of Michelle Rhee? Go to “The Mystery of Michele Rhee”. How about the Parent Trigger? Read the chapter “Parent Trigger or Parent Tricker”. (Love the title).
“The best part is that after Dr. Ravitch explains all things corporate reform, she provides real solutions to the challenges of public education. The answers aren’t easy, there is no silver bullet as she explains, but the solutions are based on a wide range and depth of knowledge, history, experience and good old-fashion common sense.”

I’m trying to do the math on how many people are being reached as these reviews and discussions spread across the web. In each city, mainstream press is generally holding off on reviews or publicity for Diane’s book tour until after her event But then in Pittsburg and Philly, individual reporters are putting out interviews and reports of the event afterward.
