"If we make standardised testing the sole criterion of success in schooling, we reward the ability to pick the right answer, and not creativity, imagination, or innovation. The student who thinks differently is punished, not recognised and not celebrated. The student who has the new idea, a different way of thinking, will be marked down." - Diane Ravitch (about 12 mins into part 2)
"Good Leadership is about inspiring your staff, showing them that you believe in them,bringing out the best in them, helping them overcome the obstacles they face and encouraging them to pull together and do what's right for students. A good general does not fire on his own troops!" - Diane Ravitch (about 3 mins into part 2).

It's hard to see a bright future for humanity when there is so much greed. Are we doomed?
