As a teacher, thank you for using your platform to bring this to light.
I want Diane Ravitch to be Secretary of education.
Yes,please.
Let me know when something like that happens. 👍
NEVER gonna happen under Trump OR Biden. Trump is Trump, Biden is yet another DINO wolf-in-sheep's-clothing.
Excellent interview! Why did it take so long to post this, Sam??
Diana Ravitch would be a MUCH better Secretary of Education
Sponge Bob would be a better Secretary of Education.
A rancid pile of feces would be better than DeVos
Thanks for pointing that out. While you're at it, let's dream about some world peace with a side of justice. 👍
"Keep my tax dollars out of private schools. " I've been literally writing that to my representatives for ten years.
Fantastic discussion.
As always, great work MR crew. However, this is a particularly great interview on this subject. What a gift Diane's clarity on the ground of the issue is great to hear. Thanks.
My observation on testing as father of elementary-aged children:
Standardized tests have a limited but important role. The danger of overemphasizing them is that the curriculum gets arranged around WHAT IS CHEAP TO TEST.
Test as needed, but they are not 'standardized' until educational funding supports is also standardized.
I heard her speak at my right-wing Christian college back in the 1990s. What I respect about her is that she will follow the research and is willing to admit when she is wrong. (That I'm commenting on this channel probably shows I've undergone a political evolution as well.) 20 years of teaching have shown me that the problems in education defy simple solutions. I was glad to hear her thinking on all these issues, especially how it has evolved since the 1990s.
I fought .. and lost my job .. fired .. I had due process but .. sometimes it just doesn't work out .. even after 28 yrs .. I'm glad I fought, thou .. and I'm glad I knew Dr Ravitch's research, AirAmericaRadio's research, etc to fight with .. But I never got a another educational job again ... I got "black-balled" ..
I Live in Malden Ma, the charter school had purchased the building that I live for 15 years and had evicted all the families, Im just digging to know more about those kind of school and I’m horrified on what I found it, we are taking them to court because they broke our leases but we know will be a David against Goliath fight.
That was very interesting.
damn i had to read reign of error for school it was a bop
Bring back the beard
He did mention it was itchy or something.
lol, it's pretape from a month ago
It is always refreshing to hear someone who knows what they are talking about. If Bernie had won, Diane should have been secretary of education.
Public money should fund religious "schools" but churches aren't taxed? US never ceases to amaze.
we deserve the leaders we pick.
Just sitting here, realizing I never had a chance.
Knowing is half the battle man. I'm almost 50 and I have to relearn things all the time. It's good for the brain.
What other than testing and money made them want to reevaluate public education in the first place?
Black Bird good question. my wild guess is the current dominant fundamentalist neoliberal ideology that permeates a lot of intellectual thought in america and that stat s all aspects of society should be brought into the market economy because this is where it will receive the most attention and care. but mostly the reason is what you said - money.
doesn't matter.. I'm too cool for school anyway
I have a serious problem if states cannot set their own policies on education. I was educated at a private school, my children will also be educated at a private school in spite of the fact that it is a significant financial burden.
If states want to test her ideas out, go for it, I want out, and will sacrifice to stay out.
I pay to get my own children a quality education. I also pay for my neighbors children to get a public education. Vouchers simply allow me to only pay for my children’s and just part of the neighbors instead of most. (Theoretically)
Why is this a problem?
Because this ideaology is about equal-fucking-opportunity jackass. You're not deserved of a medal for paying taxes and being willing to spend more money on your progeny's education instead of getting behind said ideology which is about giving the best opportunity to the most students. This does NOT mean equal outcome just to get that out of the way.
HARMONY FIRST, and if the public option is failing in my opinion and I have no lever available to improve it, I must suck it up and improperly prepare my child to thrive in the world?
If that is the “equality” you are after, count me out.
@@tradcon3096 ya no one is asking you to be a victim like so many of your fellow citizens gary, chill out.
@@tradcon3096 the ideaology the guest was proposing is to change the current system for the better by investing in it instead of taking that investment and giving it to an organizational model that isn't scalable at best or literally is black/white against the Constitution at worst.
HARMONY FIRST, the public model is the one that is failing. I just want parents in the lower income brackets as me to have the option of choosing a quality school with a little less sacrifice. My school is very responsive to any problems and the tuition is a bit under $5000 per student per year.
I may be wrong but I believe that is less than half what the cost of the most efficient public school systems cost. I believe we are getting better education than the vast majority of public schools.
Our school is not failing and it isn’t taking a dime away from the public school system. It is the model that is flawed, not the funding, in my view.
