Sh...The true "Superwoman", Diane Ravitch! She is a genuine American hero---and a hero for all of humanity. Kudos to her for bringing so many critical issues to the forefront!<br /><br />However, in her wisdom, Ms. Ravitch would be the first to tell us that we shouldn't be "waiting" for her, or anyone else, in the struggle to save our schools and the very concept of public education. <br /><br />WE are the "ones we've been waiting for". We parents. We students. We teachers. We staff and administrators. It's time for US to speak out, loudly and aggressively! (But with firm politeness and respect for the other person, of course!)<br /><br />It's a difficult time we're living through, and the garbage that is tossed in the face of teachers---and the students and parents who back them up---is beginning to be met with a pushback. <br /><br />I'm feeling optimistic, despite it all, about the future. We who believe in REAL reform of our schools---so that they can better resemble the schools of Finland, for instance---have been shut out of this national dialogue.<br /><br />But...we're pushing ourselves into it...just wait.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4825564092223985753.post-10724424268025851272012-08-07T18:13:23.237-07:002012-08-07T18:13:23.237-07:00She blogs more than she tweets now; at a superhuma...She blogs more than she tweets now; at a superhuman pace for sure.
