If you're a serious education reformer and want to make yourself angry, have a look at the "11th Bracey Report on the Condition of Public Education" written by none other than Gerald W. Bracey. You'll probably agree with nothing in it. It's mostly an anti-testing rant leavened by ad hominem attacks. You can find it in the October Phi Delta Kappan but your blood pressure will rise even higher if you go to the website version (not yet posted but expected soon), which will contain his despicable "rotten apple" awards. The big problem with this guy isn't just that he's wrong about practically everything. It's that he's so nasty.
