What's in store for the future of public education?

On the next Your Call, we'll have a conversation with education historian Diane Ravitch. She served as assistant secretary of education under George H.W. Bush and is the author of the bestselling The Death and Life of the Great American School System. Teachers are under attack, school budgets are being slashed, and President Obama and Republicans are moving toward a possible compromise on education reform. What would you like to see reformed? It's Your Call with Rose Aguilar, and you.

Guests:
Diane Ravitch, education professor at NYU and author of The Death and Life of the Great American School System: How Testing and Choice Are Undermining Education
