If You Want Diane Ravitch to Come to Your School
She's too busy, sorry--but here's the next best thing: her presentation and dialogue at EPI on March 15.
Invite your teacher and parent friends to get together and watch this. Then read the book. Then get active to save public education before it is too late. This is the most important book for teachers and parents in many years, mainly because it encapsulates much of the core message of what people like Bracey, Rothstein, Berliner, Meier, and other supporters of public schools have been saying for so long without much attention outside the small and committed groups of resistors to the corporate takeover of American education.
Thanks to Ravitch, the truth has just gone mass market (most likely NYTimes Bestseller List), and nothing could be sweeter than the squirming among the corporate leeches and snake oil salesmen who have taken public education to the brink of destruction. From EPI:
