DIANE RAVITCH'S ATTACK ON PISA

Has made Anthony Jackson (vice president for education at the Asia Society) pissy...


From Education Week

Diane Ravitch Is Well Respected. And Wrong.


CAT Tracks Editor's Note:

In my opinion...

...Anthony's "defense" serves Diane well!

He confirms all the ills laid out by Diane Ravitch in her attacks on "education reformers", the multitude of obstacles to learning that are beyond the control of teachers and schools.

Anthony Jackson might be right that there was no "conspiracy". (Then, again, who would admit to such a thing? :-)

Either way, the concerted attack on public education exists...

...it's not just some figment of imagination, born and driven by paranoia in the minds of "Ravitch, Loveless, and Strauss."


(Have to confess...I had to look up Tom Loveless.)
