Ravitch’s The Death and Life of the Great American School System
Diane Ravitch’s The Death and Life of the Great American School System is a tour de force. We will not recount the book’s argument here, although a couple of thoughts inspired by the book will follow in a separate post. Readers of Edwize need to read the book for themselves, as one can only fully appreciate the power of the argument in its original form. You can purchase the book from a unionized and employee friendly bookstore here.
Diane has agreed to do a virtual book tour appearance here at Edwize, in which she will answer questions inspired by the book from our readers. Send your questions to QuestionsForDiane@uft.org.

This book is a must-read for anyone who works for NYCDOE. It has validated everything I have been thinking and feeling over the last decade and has helped me make sense of the world of work under Bloomberg/Klein.
