Want to save the schools? Read this book!

Diane Ravitch, one of our nation's most respected education historians, appeared on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart last week. Her latest book, The Death and Life of the Great American School System: How Testing and Choice Are Undermining Education should be read by every administrator, every teacher, every parent, and every doggone legislator who just voted to do an end run around public employee unions in Wisconsin and Michigan.


By the book. Read it, then share it with a friend. Borrow a copy from your local library. When you've finished, you'll know exactly why Bush's No Child Left Behind and Obama's Race to the Top are destined to fail.
