Böcker av Diane Ravitch

Demystifies the new language of education. The authors describe the key terms and groups currently embroiled in the corporate fight besieging schools. EdSpeak and Doubletalk is an essential resource for anyone seeking to gain deeper awareness and understanding about the fight for public education.

In this volume, leading thinkers from a variety of disciplines probe the relation between a healthy democracy and education, and discuss topics that range from the place of religion in public life to political conflict in a pluralist society to the problems of racial inequality.

The author of The Troubled Crusade and other important books and writings on education brings her own blend of sanity, common sense, and commitment to excellence to the problems of the nation's schools.
