Ravitch Offers Passionate Defense of America’s Public School System

No silver bullets. This is the simple premise of Diane Ravitch’s new
book, “The Death and Life of the Great American School System,” which
is being brought out this week by Basic Books. Written by one of our
nation’s most respected scholars, it has been eagerly awaited. But it
has also been, at least in some quarters, anticipated with a certain
foreboding, because it was likely to debunk much of the conventional —
and some not so conventional — wisdom surrounding education reform.
A highly demagogic appeal, coming from the same angle as the
Republicans opposing Obama's attacks on Medicare. Take your
choice. Arsenic or strychnine. Both will kill you.
