They didn’t settle the most burning questions facing America’s public schools. But New Haven teachers, students, parents, and policymakers talked about those questions at length with controversial author Diane Ravitch — while readers, reporters and elected officials joined in live, as part of an online conversation. A common rallying cry: Support, don’t punish, teachers.
To describe this evening's dialog as, "One of the more formidable & productive forums to have been held (re this pressing topic of successful purveyance of education) in a generation." would not be construed as being too strong of a sentiment.
Hopefully more such respectful & impact filled opportunities for positive change to follow.
