In her book The Death and Life of the Great American School System: How Testing and Choices are Undermining Education , she analyzes research and speaks with educators, philanthropists, and business executives about the current direction of education reform. Ravitch reveals how her own opinion on school choice and market-driven accountability has changed over the past 40 years.
