What the Red Plan hasn’t already done to the Duluth schools No Child Left Behind surely will:
“I came to the conclusion … that No Child Left Behind has turned into a timetable for the destruction of American public education,” she tells Fresh Air’s Terry Gross. “I had never imagined that the test would someday be turned into a blunt instrument to close schools — or to say whether teachers are good teachers or not — because I always knew children’s test scores are far more complicated than the way they’re being received today.”
Diane Ravitch bad mouth’s Charter Schools and I don’t entirely disagree with her. Ironically, I reluctantly became one of the biggest boosters of Duluth’s Edison Charter Schools. In the long forgotten backstory of Duluth’s Edison Schools a major chapter should be devoted to the role the Duluth Federation of Teachers played in making Edison happen and thrive.
