This is a video of a speech education guru, Diane Ravitch, gave to members of the teachers' union in Los Angeles this last September. One of her primary targets here is the movie, "Waiting for Superman," and its supporters such as Oprah Winfrey, various business leaders, and the Obama administration in the form of Arne Duncan's Race to the Top program. Another target is charter schools and their effects on the success of students and the topic of merit pay for teachers. Here are links to some of the studies and resources she cites:
CREDO National Charter School Study and the
"Waiting for Superman" movie.
