Inaugural Tome for the BAT Book Club Sept 13, 2013 13:43:52 GMT -5

BATs,

You asked for it, so here it comes....

The first book we will be reading and discussing is, appropriately, Diane Ravitch's latest, "Reign of Error"! You can pre-order via www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.barnesandnoble.com%2Fw%2Freign-of-error-diane-ravitch%2F1114975619%3Fean%3D9780385350884&h=7AQEaOVOaAQHb4axqNNvQ6pSFFXNG6jzS20h2uRLdOKHT7g&s=1

Looking for input as to discussion format and timing - and, perhaps, a more full time Book Club Moderator. Although happy to watch over things, usually busy, myself. So, please, message me or post, if you are interested!

BAT On,

Nikk ^o^

If there isn't a better idea we can just do it here. I'm thinking people simply post what stuck out most in each chapter. Anyone got a better idea?

(and it's a bit cheaper that way)

This is an excerpt from Diane Ravitch's new book. :-). I got it off twitter. Kyle Smith tries to rip the book apart in the New York Post.
