"Historian and author Diane Ravitch joined Jon Stewart on "The Daily Show" to discuss education reform". Testing and (over)choice are undermining the US education Diane Ravitch says :

"Kids have to have a reason to go to school -I've never met any child [...] who said 'I can't wait to go to school for test prep' " D. Ravitch says.

The Huffington Post : "According to Ravitch, the preoccupation with standardized testing and teacher bashing won't remedy the education crisis when poverty and racial inequality continue to plague schools."
