Why I Changed My Mind About School Reform - WSJ.com
This is about how our schools continue to fail our society.
I have the opinion that school systems have become good at making the government's "bogey".
Unfortunately, that is selective, and done at the expense of a broad based "real" education..

In the Wall Street Journal, Diane Ravitch finishes her writing with this:
"On our present course, we are disrupting communities, dumbing down our schools, giving students false reports of their progress, and creating a private sector that will undermine public education without improving it. Most significantly, we are not producing a generation of students who are more knowledgable, and better prepared for the responsibilities of citizenship. That is why I changed my mind about the current direction of school reform."
