George Bush's Education Secretary on Education Reform

link here to article

Diane Ravitch was a firm believer in the use of vouchers, charter schools and the no child left behind bill passed in the Bush administration. Her experience with these programs during her tenure in the Bush administration changed her mind about these education reforms, which she views as threats to the public schools. Given what is happening in Wisconsin, which just passed an anti-union bill which will affect teachers, it may be timely to learn more about the experiences that Ravitch had that altered her views on education reform.
