I've posted my interview with Diane Ravitch - podcast subscribers can get it now, but I won't get to the web page update until tomorrow. I'll just say this: Obama is making NCLB worse with his "Race to the Top."
Someone who teaches at a CUNY community college told me yesterday that a version of NCLB is being imposed on the community colleges in New York. Don't know what's happening in other states, but I'm guessing it's pretty much the same.
The road to fucking perdition.
