"What we need to improve education...is a strong, highly respected education profession; a rich curriculum in the arts and sciences, available in every school for every child; assessments that gauge what students know and can do, instead of mindless test prepping for bubble tests; and a government that is prepared to change the economic and social conditions that interfere with children’s readiness to learn."
June 2011 - Diane Ravitch
