Can an appearance on Moyers & Company with Bill Moyers be far away?
An excellent interview, Dr. Ravitch.
If President Obama is re-elected, please meet with him for a comparable discussion.
Sincerely,
Yes, it’s evident from the Obama administration’s response to Diane’s and our letters that Obama would certainly welcome such a meeting.
Dr. Ravitch’s credentials, indomitable spirit, and perseverance will get her invited. Meanwhile, abnegation is not an option.
What a thorough review of the status of American education. Diane put the reality of the American classroom in perspective. Her ardent denunciation of standardized testing coincides with every teacher that I know. As a school board member, I am working to awaken parents and constituents to the threat represented by excessive testing, vouchers and value added approaches to teacher assessment. Brava Diane!
If only all BOE members were like you! Thank you so much!
Well stated, Glen, and it WILL happen! From some of the information Diane has been posting lately (e.g. “Pennsylvania Slows ALEC Juggernaut,” et. al.), the tide just may be turning. Folks are “mad as hell, and they’re not going to take it anymore!”
Yes, WE can!
Great interview….I just forwarded it to many. Again and again, thank you Diane.
Excellent interview, Diane. I’m definitely sharing this online.
Diane,
Thank you. You so intelligently and eloquently spoke the truth. The fake false dead language of the reformers will become evident to all as you and we continue on this journey. I have such gratitude to you and this blog for the education I am getting by reading and watching. Your authenticity and integrity are pure beauty. Thank you.
Now go take care of that cold!
Public educators every where are in your debt. Thank you!
