A word or two about this Blog site:

I've resisted creating my own place here in cyberspace for some time. There are many brilliant, articulate people writing about what's going on in public education. Mountains of data and knowledge that expose the "education reform" movement as neither can be found all over the internet. I highly recommend you check out dianeravitch.com or curmudgucation.blogspot.com, for starters.

I would like to use this site as a way to rant a little and to pose my own questions, as issues in my daily teaching life impel me to rant and I do like to ask questions. And my friends and family may have grown weary of me filling their inboxes. I also like to muse about possible answers, and hope I will be heard in cyberspace by at least a few interested readers.

Having said that, I seek communication in writing that moves the conversation forward, even towards actionable results. I know I can't control writers I've never met and never will meet, but if you choose to comment, I encourage you to help us understand your point of view. Snark is welcomed. Rudeness is not.

Thanks for reading!

KEEP TALKING ABOUT K-12 EDUCATION!

SIGN THE PETITION!
I signed a petition on Action Network telling Senator Bernie Sanders to Senator Sanders: Keep Talking About K-12 Education!.
After months of waiting for candidates to talk about our issues, Bernie Sanders tweeted the tweet that was heard around the education world:
I want to thank Rahm Emanuel for not endorsing me. I don’t want the endorsement of a mayor shutting down schools and firing teachers. — Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) March 12, 2016
In the last month, the only tweet to garner more attention on Sander's twitter feed was the announcement of this historic upset in Michigan.
The corporate media counted us out. The pollsters said we were way behind. But we won. Thank you, Michigan. pic.twitter.com/Iywg9N3B1z

Help us tell Senator Sanders that this is not a fluke - if he keeps talking about our issues and takes the time to really understand them, it will be another historic moment in his campaign.
Thanks!
