ABSTRACT: Diane Ravitch at http://bit.ly/13uNGbs has called attention to David Berliner's (2013) “Three Decades of Lies” at http://bit.ly/17ihWIM. “Teacherken” (aka Ken Bernstein) commented on Diane's blog entry (paraphrasing) “Berliner was right in Manufactured Crisis (Berliner & Biddle, 1995/1996 at http://amzn.to/PGOfcT) about the ‘Nation at Risk’ report http://bit.ly/ZJ8Tyi of 30 years ago and is right today.” Berliner (2005, 2009) at http://bit.ly/ff8BVj, http://bit.ly/fqiCUA has also been right about “The Overriding Influence of Poverty on Children’s Educational Achievement” (Hake (2011, 2013) at http://bit.ly/tUU65W, http://bit.ly/XHnEzS.
