(Not necessarily all of them, though. For example, taking it literally, I can't agree with the goal of ending political control of curriculum, instruction, and assessment decisions, since public schools ultimately have to be controlled by the public. But if it means returning those decisions to local governments, no longer treating education as a political football, and encouraging school boards to give teachers and kids more autonomy, I'm on board.) <br /><br />I will add a link to the site in my sidebar.

Please be aware that a national movement has been coalescing and has now come together.<br /><br />Educators and parent groups all over the country are supporting our national grassroots movement to take back control of our schools. We are sponsoring a march in Washington, D.C. on July 30, and we have issued a national call to action. One of our many endorsements has come from Diane Ravitch. She and other important educators will be presenting in Washington at events surrounding the March.<br /><br />How can you help? Please visit our website www.saveourschoolsmarch.org and please help us get out the word! This is such a politically crucial time for the PUBLIC schools! They are under attack from legislators, the media, and even our National and State Government . We’d love to have you blog about us and we’d love to have your blog link to our website. Together, we will speak with ONE VOICE. We WILL be heard.<br /> <br />Cindi Pastore<br />www.saveourschoolsmarch.orgCynedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09585638408618921973noreply@blogger.com
