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!

TELL CONGRESS TO FUND BACKGROUND CHECKS

TELL CONGRESS: FUND BACKGROUND CHECKS!

There's no question background checks save lives by keeping guns out of dangerous hands.
But right now our background check system is woefully understaffed, underfunded and missing millions of records – making it far too easy for the next mass shooter to slip through the cracks.
Tomorrow is a critical deadline for urging Congress to make funding and fixing background checks a top priority. Sign Sandy Hook Promise's petition right now to demand Congress take action to protect all of our children and communities.
