Diane Ravitch on Standardized Testing
During Fall Semester I stumbled upon an article by Diane Ravitch discussing Waiting for Superman. It was the first time I had heard of Diane Ravitch. Then in other research I came across other articles by Ravitch. I really appreciate her views on education. She brings to light some of the many issues in education. This summer I would like to read her book The Death and Life of the Great American School System: How Testing and Choice Are Undermining Education. This evening while making dinner I was fortunate enough to be able to listen to her on NPR on Fresh Air. Its a 20 minute interview, but very interesting to listen to. She makes some great points and I thought others might enjoy listening to it as well. I wish more people could hear her speak! I think it would make a big difference.
