| Page 420: | "When adults argued about such matters as which group had the greatest ancient culture and which race or ethnic group could claim credit for which inventions, the educational needs of children took a backseat." |
| Missing space: S/B "back seat". |
| Page 453: | "If there is a lesson to be learned from the river of ink that was spilled in the educational disputes of the twentieth century, it is that anything in education that is labeled a 'movement' should be avoided like the plague." |
| Right: Avoid cliches like the plague! (I couldn't resist. Ms. Ravitch's work is too error-free.)1 |
