Bus tour with teacherken: more on education in Pennsylvania
Let me start with this:  if you really care about what is happening to education, you absolutely should subscribe RIGHT NOW to Diane Ravitch’s blog   It has become the hub of information about what is happening.  Diane - whom I acknowledge as both a professional colleague and a personal friend - posts not only her own thoughts, but about things she either encounters in her reading or that people pass on to her.  You will hear from teachers, students, parents, principals, scholars.
