Except for your last comment about her "speedy return," because she already went--in fact, joked about being in London for "one day" (the TSA questioned her reason for a "one day" visit--yes, a bit strange IMO, as well--wonder how much this cost the AFT members?!)<br />If this makes her some sort of hero, well, then, I'm Andy Kaufman doing his "Mighty Mouse" bit. (For those of you too young to remember, M.M's claim to fame is, "Here I come to save the day! Mighty Mouse is on the way!"<br />Anyway, our time is best spent pointing out to as many people as we can (& wherever we are, whatever amount spent--er, wasted) that ILL-Annoy SBE spent $34 million on te$ting for the 2014-15 school year (source: Chicago Tribune) AND signed a 4-year. $160 million NO BID (isn't the CPS Board being investigated for that no bid thingy?) contract (source: More Than a Score) w/Pear$on. People I've told who didn't know become furious--"I thought education funds were to be spent on schools," many have said to me. Just point out how many more social workers, books, availability of lower class sizes we could have--if all of these $$$ were not misspent on Pear$on CCRAP--te$t$ & te$t prep$. Point the finger, people, point the finger. Knowledge is power. And the power of 99% of us is much greater than that of 1%.

Or maybe it's whoever gives her a seat at the table.

Instead of petitioning our government and its representatives, she petitions boards of the mega-corporations like Pearson. Then she declares them to be, "the world's leading education organization" though I fail to see how they qualify. Do you remember voting for them? <br /><br />Doug Ballounoreply@blogger.com
