Dreaming Diane Ravitch's Reign of Error on iPod


iPod dream:  In reality I’d fallen asleep with the Audible version of Reign of Error in my ear.  In the dream, I was talking to Susan and Pat, two classmates from our Columbia High School graduating class of 1964 with whom I've been in contact recently.  Susan was talking about the privatization of education, and I told her that what she was saying was very much like what Ravitch says in Reign of Error.  (Of course it was EXACTLY what Ravitch was saying!)  I looked at Pat to see what he thought, and I could tell he wasn’t interested.  I thought, “Ah, yes!  I’m always more interested in the lessons than my students are.  Pat’s normal.  I’m not.  I’m a low-budget indie, and most people like action-packed Blockbusters.”  Does Ravitch ever write about that?

I don't think this is the kind of community-provided bench the SF Chronicle was talking about today in its article https://www.sfchronic...
