From Diane Ravitch's blog:
In case you have forgotten how to answer that question;
In case you are befuddled by the nonstop attacks on public schools and those who teach in them;
In case you don’t remember the history of education in the past fifty years:
Please read this statement on “The Public Purpose of Public Education”by Jan Resseger.
It is one of the best, most concise summaries of the issues facing public education and our society today.
Please share it with your elected officials.
Please share it with those who are responsible for our schools today.
