Public schools are essential for democracy—and they're under attack. But the very policies that are being championed as their salvation may have a catastrophic impact on American education for generations. Public education advocate and historian Diane Ravitch unpacks how school choice policies like vouchers and charter schools are dangerous for democracy. Diane Ravitch is a former assistant secretary in the United States Department of Education. She is the author of several books on the history and policy of American public schools. Her memoir, about her life as a leading public education reformer, will be published this fall. It's called An Education: How I Changed My Mind About Almost Everything. https://dianeravitch.net/

Here's this week's LoL "Friday Short" for this April 12, 2024. The Michigan Board of Education passed a resolution this week asking the Democratic majority in the state legislature to pass laws requiring more transparency and accountability when it comes to charter schools.  For years, charter schools haven't had to play by the same rules as public schools when it comes to accountability, even though charter schools receive taxpayer money! This resolution is a start of a movement that should've started long ago, and let's hope Michigan Democrats indeed pass legislation holding these institutions to the same standards as we hold our public schools.  But school choicers don't want that kind of accountability because it'll hurt their ultimate goal: defunding public schools!  Read the articles below for more info.

Diane Ravitch är professor i utbildningsvetenskapen och en av världens mest kända skoldebattörer. Efter att ha varit vice utbildningsminister för både George H. W. Bush och Bill Clinton gjorde Diane en tvärvändning och började rikta skarp kritik mot testning och konkurrens som medel för kvalitetshöjning i skolan. Hon driver nu en mycket framgångsrik blogg där hon skriver om det privata friskolealternativet som ett hot mot det offentliga skolsystemet och demokratin. Läs hennes blogg här: https://dianeravitch.net/ Vad finns det för maktdimensioner i skolsystemet? Vilka konsekvenser får det ”fria” skolvalet för dem med sämst förutsättningar?

The only thing that matters is that parents are making a choice and it doesn’t matter if it as good choice or a bad choice”  ”The big problem [with privatization] is that it is very inegalitarian… Privatization benefits some and harms many others… The privatization is a rejection of democracy” ”Very wealthy people have always chosen to send their children to private schools, but at their own expense… What is new today is that public should pay for all these separated kind of education” ”I always thought that Sweden, like Switzerland and like the Nordic Countries, is being very social conscious and very aware of the state’s obligations to its citizens”  ”The free market actually promotes inequality and today in the United States we have the most income inequality and wealth inequality probably in our history” ”We have to look out for the least of us, we have to look out for the people who have nothing, who have no choices and make sure they are well served” ”I think choice is a delusion and choice is selfish”

This week, we discuss the things that we learned from the pandemic and the things we hope get carried forward. Or not. In one section, we share a quote from Dr. Teresa Thayer Snyder, a retired superintendent from upstate New York. Dr. Snyder writes: " When the children return to school, they will have returned with a new history that we will need to help them identify and make sense of. When the children return to school, we will need to listen to them. Let their stories be told. They have endured a year that has no parallel in modern times. There is no assessment that applies to who they are or what they have learned. Remember, their brains did not go into hibernation during this year. Their brains may not have been focused on traditional school material, but they did not stop either. Their brains may have been focused on where their next meal is coming from, or how to care for a younger sibling, or how to deal with missing grandma, or how it feels to have to surrender a beloved pet, or how to deal with death. Our job is to welcome them back and help them write that history.” The full text can be found on Diane Ravitch's site (https://dianeravitch.net/2020/12/12/teresa-thayer-snyder-what-shall-we-do-about-the-children-after-the-pandemic/).

Betsy DeVos may be the most prominent face of the seeming push to dismantle public education, but educational policy experts Jennifer Berkshire and Jack Schneider believe she’s part of a larger movement that’s been steadily gaining power for decades. While support for public education today is stronger than ever, Berkshire and Schneider argue, the movement to save our schools remains fragmented, variable, and voluntary while those who seem set on tearing down the public school system are unified, patient, and well-resourced. Berkshire and Schneider joined us, in conversation with historian of education Diane Ravitch, to discuss their book A Wolf at the Schoolhouse Door: The Dismantling of Public Education and the Future of School. With remarkable insight, they explored the network of conservative elected officials, advocacy groups, funders, and think tanks that have aligned behind a radical vision to unmake public education. They described the convictions underpinning the work of the dismantlers and how it fits into the current political context, giving us an up-close look at the policies—school vouchers, the war on teachers’ unions, tax credit scholarships, virtual schools, and more—that support the intentions of this network. Finally they looked forward, surveying the potential impact on public education if this network is successful. Sounding an alarm, they presented a call for public reckoning on behalf of the millions of families served by the American educational system—and many more who stand to suffer from its unmaking. Jennifer Berkshire is a freelance journalist and a host of the education podcast “Have You Heard.” Her writing on the politics of education has appeared in the Nation, Salon, the Baffler, the Progressive, and the New Republic. Jack Schneider is the author of three books and an award-winning education historian. He is a host of the education podcast “Have You Heard” and an assistant professor at UMass Lowell. He co-founded the Massachusetts Consortium for Innovative Education Assessment, a partnership of eight MA public school districts and their local teacher unions. He is a regular contributor to the Atlantic and the Washington Post. Diane Ravitch is a Research Professor of Education at New York University and a historian of education. She served as the Assistant Secretary of Education during the Bush I administration. She is the Founder and President of the Network for Public Education (NPE). She is the author of 13 books, the editor of 14 others, and has written over 500 articles and reviews for scholarly and popular publications.

Who was I? I was a full-time college professor.What would you do if you were not dealing with your disorder and/or disability? *This is hard to answer because, on one hand, I wish I could go back to my full-time working life, but on the other hand, my illnesses have opened up other worlds for me with writing and creativity. What would you like people to know about your daily life? *It is much harder than people without chronic illness may imagine. I put on a good show and there are many positives in my life, but it is a struggle. What would make living and moving in the world easier for you? *More compassion, understanding, and knowledge - from medical providers and the general community.Do you have any life hacks? *Naps! Do something creative! Meditate!What kind of support do you get from family or friends? *I am lucky - I have a great circle of support. Many do not. Have you ever had someone, or a medical professional, not believe you have an invisible illness because of your appearance and if so are there any examples that stand out? *One doctor suggested that the symptoms I had could be explained by psychiatric issues. I highly doubt that a male-identifying person would have been told the same thing. Another care provider seemed only concerned about my weight, as if that was the cause of all my issues. I have to return once a year for ongoing care from that second person, and I dread it every time, but I get the medical equipment I require as a result.

Reading! Podcasts like this one!What are you the most concerned about and the most hopeful for in the future? *I worry that those with chronic illness can be even more isolated during the pandemic.

Is there anything you want to make sure we talk about during the interview?

On this week's show… What's evil about privatization is that privatization destroys what belongs to all of us. Author and historian Diane Ravitch talks about her new book, “Slaying Goliath” on CTU Speaks. The new postmaster general is actively working to destroy the product, the service and the integrity of the United States postal service. That's from the latest My Labor Radio podcast, out of Fort Wayne, Indiana. Workers are losing rights, are losing jobs, are losing lives. One thousand Brazilians have been dying every day, due to coronavirus for the last three weeks; 40 million Brazilians have no jobs. That's from the Brazil Worker's Podcast, one of the Labor Radio Podcast Network's newest members. The Brazil Worker's Podcast  is an English language broadcast on labor news and current affairs in Brazil, Latin America and opinions on the struggle of the working class around the world. I believe there's power in numbers. And when you got the numbers, you can do a lot of things. Reverend Edward Pinkney, on another brand-new Network member, Hero Americana, from Empathy Media Lab. Hero Americana focuses on the eternal struggle between labor, capital, race, and political economy. I was coming across particular workers, in our neighborhood, in the grocery store and I just wondered, well, what would it look like to hear directly from them? That's from Speaking of Dignity, Workers on the Front Lines and the Common Good, the new podcast from The Center for Social Concerns at the University of Notre Dame. This podcast aims to listen to the voices of those workers whose labor we recognize as essential but who rarely get an opportunity to be heard in a public forum.

In this episode's deep dive into the exploitation of our school system by "disruptors" and public education profiteers, Andrea and Jim will discuss Ravitch's latest book "Slaying Goliath" and how the current coronavirus shutdown has offered fertile ground for those who want to privatize education, diverting money intended to help schools through the pandemic, into private charter operations and other corporate reform agenda items. Ravitch outlines how education is an integral part of our democracy and how charter schools and other privatizers destroy communities by choking off their central place to organize and fight for their local issues. This is particularly true in impoverished and marginalized Black and Latinx neighborhoods. She also talks about the critical role of unions in joining the anti-privatization resistance. And she talks about the key role played by former CTU President Karen Lewis in spearheading the resurgence of the the struggle for the rights of children, teachers, parents and workers all across the country.

What do billionaires like Betsy DeVos know about running schools?  Absolutely nothing, argues public education expert Diane Ravitch. Since the 1980s, wealthy privatizers have passed themselves off as education “reformers.” But the data reveal that they weaken outcomes for students and thrust public-school teachers into poverty.  Thankfully, there's hope: in her new book Slaying Goliath Ravitch points to the growing resistance: parents, teachers' unions, and progressive politicians working together to save the public sphere from the wealthy.  Plus, the editors discuss Terrence Malick's A Hidden Life, a “simple” film that plumbs the depth of Austrian Catholic martyr Franz Jägerstätter's decision to refuse to sign an oath of loyalty to Adolph Hitler in 1943.
