Love her or hate her, Diane Ravitch is back to Bridging Differences (the blog she shares with Deborah Meier) with a list?of discussion topics for the new school year.
Here they are (my summary, her order):
*Is the Obama-Duncan reform agenda contrary to the interests of civil rights?
*Should the LA Times have named names?
*What is the value of value-added?
*Are the reform incentives in Race to the Top good ones?
*Is Duncan's Renaissance 2010 project from Chicago a bellwether for RttT?
*Does the public not like what Obama-Duncan are doing?
Are there other issues we want Diane and Deborah to tackle?
I for one wonder whether they need to rename their blog ? to Differences Bridged: Now What?
