1. Ravitch and Reform: Should 'Left Back' be Left Back?

Author

Goetz, William W. and Goetz, William W.

Abstract

Reviews Ravitch's "Left Back: A Century of Failed School Reforms," suggesting that: the book is tedious, its documentation is limited, it neglects important reform movements, and it presents troubling accusations about an elitist attitude in public education which has historically been detrimental to the underprivileged. The review asserts that public education provides unique opportunities for upwardly mobile groups without making the humanities the only focus of school curriculum. (SM)
