At the moment, I am looking out at the Brooklyn skyline, but tonight I will be speaking in Denver.
Tomorrow night I speak at the University of Washington in Seattle.
The next night I speak in Sacramento.
Then Berkeley.
Sunday is a day of rest in San Francisco.
September 30 I speak at Stanford University in Palo Alto.
October 1, I speak at Occidental College in Los Angeles.
October 2, I speak at Cal State Northridge.
West Coast, here I come!
Check the webpage of the Network for Public Education or my own webpage for times and places.
Diane Ravitch's blog 
After the tour is over, I hope Diane takes some time off and gets TLC and coddling at an upscale spa or resort. She has described a very grueling and tiring book tour schedule plus all her postings on her blog. However, I do realize that she loves writing and communicating her ideas and feels very passionately about preserving public education in America. Heck, even Paul Krugman takes time off from his NYT column and his NYT blog, especially when he’s on the road (or air).

Joe, when I travel, I have extra time in airport lounges and late at night in hotel rooms. I never stop learning from the articles and ideas readers share, and I’ll keep keeping on.

Thank you

I agree with Joe, but how about getting the TLC once a day and not wait until the tour is over. Seriously, this journey will be full-on energy on every level, each day. At least get a regular head massage as your brain will be bursting with the thoughts and prayers from your appreciative audiences. Love and Vitamin C!

I hope I can get to hear you when you are in the east. We have a great spa nearby and you should go! Rally forward, Diane. Our students and teachers, families and country need your knowledge and wisdom. When will you post your schedule for the east? I’d like to put it on my calendar and bring friends!

Safe travels Diane.
After each long day, I hope your spirit is only strengthened and replenished from the love and gratitude of the thousands of lifelong educators you inspire each day. I hope you will personally feel this gratitude on your tour and you will be uplifted in the same way you lift our spirits. Thank you for your blog and for your tireless efforts in writing and sharing this amazing book.
Enjoy your day off in San Francisco. L’Osterio del Forno in North Beach still lingers on the list of wonderful meals and memories. And then, there’s that delicious Golden Boy Pizza…. Whatever you do, have fun!

If somebody sends photographs and a paragraph to me every day, we will post it at substancenews.net. These stories are fun. Part of our mission now that Substance has gone out of print after 35 years is to make sure that the Internet record of our kinds of work in the resistance and elsewhere isn’t “lost” underneath the barrages of corporate propaganda we write so much about here. As some people learned recently, but for our 2002 coverage of Paul Vallas, a lot would already have been misplaced by “history.”
Email the information to me at Csubstance@aol.com. Or not.
To Diane, here’s hoping you have fun and get enough rest.

Wish you’d come to Boise, Idaho. We just inherited an Ohio charter school “expert” and the governor’s task force recommends funding based on enrollment instead of attendance. Last fall we the people fought a bloody battle to defeat props 1,2, and 3. But they’re baaaack in the form of task force recommendations. Adding to that we have to put up with those obnoxious “Go On” ads produced by the Albertson Foundation that keep exhorting kids to go on to college? The carpetbaggers have found us!

I feel honored to have listened to your lecture tonight in Denver at North High School.
Thank you, Diane, for championing public education.
I, for one, felt more hopeful leaving the lecture than when I entered the auditorium.
Good luck on the rest of your tour.
