dr. ravitch adjusts her philosophy on our national education system, as seen here from a conference she spoke at in phoenix.
“nations like finland and japan seek out the best college graduates for teaching positions, prepare them well, pay them well and treat them with respect,” she said. “they make sure that all their students study the arts, history, literature, geography, civics, foreign languages, the sciences and other subjects. they do this because this is the way to ensure good education. we’re on the wrong track.”
the superintendents gave dr. ravitch a standing ovation.
