"Reign of Error: The Hoax of the Privatization Movement and the Danger to America's Public Schools" "Dr. Ravitch shatters one corporate reform myth after another with clarity providing excellent background information in the Notes and Appendix. This book is a reference guide to all things ed reform. Don't understand much about test scores? Check out the chapters "The Facts About Test Scores" and "The Facts About International Test Scores". Don't know the history of Michelle Rhee? Go to "The Mystery of Michele Rhee". How about the Parent Trigger? Read the chapter "Parent Trigger or Parent Tricker". (Love the title)."
" Dr. Ravitch explains all things corporate reform, she provides real solutions to the challenges of public education. The answers aren't easy, there is no silver bullet as she explains, but the solutions are based on a wide range and depth of knowledge."
