Media Reviews
"An incisive examination."
-- Kirkus
"Ravitch's views on education-characterized by some as moderate-conservative-tend to be forceful and clear: she has little patience for pedagogical approaches that coddle students or in other ways circumvent the difficult but, in her view, essential work of making sure that all children master an "academic curriculum"....
-- Atlantic Monthly
"The decline and fall of [the belief that the right schools can overcome many social problems] is a long, sad story...which Ms. Ravitch recounts with concision and panache." -- Joseph Adelson
-- Wall Street Journal
"Professor Ravitch's account of the failures of assorted reforms over the past century has only one flaw, but it is potentially fatal. Her account is so deftly done, and so cruelly accurate about the shortcomings of assorted progressive educators, that is sometimes seems that everything wrong with American public schools is to be laid at the door of progressive education." -- Alan Ryan
-- New York Review of Books
