How many people in the public eye today are open-minded enough to look at the consequences of a policy they supported and acknowledge that they were wrong? And then go to the ends of the earth telling everyone why those policies are wrong? And be able to cite chapter and verse of studies that prove they are wrong?

I'm glad at least one of the big teachers' unions has decided to give Ms. Ravitch the podium. I just wish she could get more play in the mainstream news media.
