Subject: Re: Everything you need to know about Common Core -- Ravitch
This came to me by one of our members. This is lengthy but is a good look at the problems created by No Child Left Behind and compounded by Race to the Top and our own Indiana Polititions. Click on the link below and please read.
I'd like to share this with as many as I can. Diane Ravitch has written a couple of books including The Death and Life of the Great American School System [and Reign of Error: The Hoax of the Privatization Movement and the Danger to America's Public Schools]. What staggers my mind is that there are 5 million people who know more about what happens in a classroom than the vast majority of those making decisions about Public Education. I believe it will take decades for our Schools to recover and the decision makers will be rich and gone.
