Thanks for the support. My friends and ...Hey Mike,<br /><br />Thanks for the support. My friends and I are LAUSD teachers trying frantically to stop the times from labeling us as "Least Effective" to "Most Effective" having never stepped foot and actually seeing us teach. <br /><br />The LA Times is a subsidiary of the Chicago Tribune so a boycott of that paper might help them to get the message as well. <br /><br />In regards to Arne Duncan, he is bought and sold by the Bill Gates, Walton, and Broad foundations. It was sad to see Obama pass up on Hammond for that corporate clown. Let educators set up the curriculum, standards, and then let them teach. It is very simple.<br /><br />Thank you again for your post and support.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12137069796064429230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133521035538248322.post-39550928444707493722010-08-26T12:39:55.515-05:002010-08-26T12:39:55.515-05:00I weep when I read this stuff--most literally. Im...I weep when I read this stuff--most literally. Imagine what it is like to grow up around adults whose feelings are intentionally hurt--in the name o "truth". Such sensibilities are precisely one of the hard things we try to help children learn--to never purposely do harm.<br /><br />Think of how creatively we try to help those we care about--to be honest but usefully so!<br /><br />I've a trove o stuff, Mike, bout the various swings o educational ideology, but this swing is as mean as I've seen. <br /><br />Note: they dont send their own kids to schools of the sort they encourage for others.Deborah Meiernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133521035538248322.post-16449959858066178962010-08-26T10:33:33.880-05:002010-08-26T10:33:33.880-05:00Central High in Little Rock is now a racially dive...Central High in Little Rock is now a racially diverse school with high academic standards. Central has had the most National Merit and National Achievement finalists in the state over the past 10 years. And imagine, Mr. Duncan. It isn't a charter schools and has union teachers.

That's the kind of courageous, boundary-crossing journalism that will save newspapers from the Internet."carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08127336930949752636noreply@blogger.com
