Slaying Goliath

The Passionate Resistance to Privatization and the Fight to Save America's Public Schools

Diane Ravitch

Discover the inspiring story of a group of citizens fighting back against those who believe America's schools should be run like businesses with teachers incentivized with threats and bonuses. From Diane Ravitch, an expert in education and history, learn about the "Disrupters" who aim to privatize public education and the "Resisters" who have successfully kept their schools alive, despite the opposition from corporations, foundations, and powerful individuals. Explore the facts behind the failed promises of higher test scores and the disappointing outcomes of the Common Core program, and be inspired by the courage and determination of those who believe in the power of public education.
