Education

Education has been on the national news and debates and also on the local news.  We have more than a few teachers in our family, so that we as a family have a vested intereste.  We have some that have retired from teaching, some that are teaching, some going for their masters.  Then their is the city of El Paso with its big problems, we just cant seem to find an honest man for the job for under $500K.

So I thought I would bring in an expert to help us decide how to best contribute and minimize the problem.  You know, just when you think the world is inploding, along comes a genius with an understanding of education that deserves a statue in the middle of town, the key to the city.

So ladies and gents I give your, Diane Ravitch, PhD and Educational Historian, and her most recent publication, The Death and Life of the Great American School System:  How Testing and Choice Are  Undermining Education.

Amazon, ebook, $9.99 a must read.
