Diane Ravitch In Detroit
Diane Ravitch at AFT in Detroit.
I'm some kind of weirdo. When I was a kid, Al Shanker was one of my true personal heroes. I read every column he ever wrote. Then, when I was a young teacher, Jonathan Kozol was my guiding light. Now Diane Ravitch is having her turn at bat. She's an amazing, inspiring person, and when I'm too tired to write about these issues or to go gather signatures on a petition, I remind myself that Diane Ravitch has probably accomplished more on a Monday morning than I have by Friday afternoon.
She covers the whole thing here with unrelenting honesty.
