Diane Ravitch: "When Reading History, Read Great Books"

Diane Ravitch is an internationally-known education reformer. On January 3, 2013, she posted comments on the value of reading great history books:

The immediate problem, for both teachers and students, is time but the deeper problem is our vision of teaching and learning, which now values the right answers on standardized tests, not the ability to read a book or construct an essay based on research. Changing books does not solve the problems inherent in a cramped and narrow vision of what education should be.

In her blog post she quotes Will Fitzhugh of The Concord Review. Click this link to read her blog, and offer comments of your own. Enjoy!
