Description
Ravitch writes of those who have privatized the schools: the Disrupters, who believe America's schools should be run like businesses, with teachers incentivized with threats and bonuses, and schools that need to enter into the age of the gig economy in which children are treated like customers or products. She lays out the facts showing that the ideas put forth by school privateers have failed; that their promises of higher test scores have not come to pass; that the "great hope" of Common Core has been a dud. In response. And she shows that the Resisters are fighting back to successfully keep alive their public schools. -- adapted from jacket
