These articles are simply 'must reads'; the entire piece is a highlight! Corporate/charter school reformers and proponents have no data to support their claims that competition produces excellence in young children. Children need nurturing in a structured, supportive environment in order to learn and grow. Market-place principles simply don't apply to every facet of human life, and Ravitch brilliantly demonstrates how they hurt our educational system.
