Turnaround Corporate Education Reform

by Judy Rabin

Dear Ms Tisch,

I heard you speaking last week on NPR and defending what's going on in NYC around the massive investments  in testing and companies like Pearson. I'm afraid to tell you, what needs to be turned around is the stupid is as stupid does education materials so Pearson and the others can make billiions more.


Perhaps some of those billions spent in testing  kids to death might be better spent on programs like Tae Kwon Do, music, dance, art, field trips, you know the kind of education the privileged get because their parents can pay for it and the type of education we had when access to the most basic  things in life were seen as investments in "the common good" of all children.  I'll send you a book by Congress Ryan of Ohio titled, A Mindful Nation which would lead to A Mindful Education and
