To begin, a very brief introduction: My resume at my author's Page at Oped News, where I am a "trusted voice" who 'reports' on the devastation to the 15,880 schools systems that are America's Institution of Public Education.
I have been telling the same story for 16 years now, the story of the beginning of the end to the public schools and with it the only road to income equality.

I have been an activist writer on this subject, SINCE 1998 when I personally experienced the beginning of the war on public education, that began with the first, hidden and literally unknown assault on the career practitioner-teacher, and resulted in the catastrophic failure of our wonderful NYC schools. I listen to the voices of the teachers at the Ravitch blog for two years now, and I can tell you that they lost the war, And, Senator, they ARE the grunts on the ground in this the battle for who will tell our future citizens our history!
