“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world;
indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”
—Margaret Mead
Join the occupy movement, Save Our Schools and United Opt Out, Children Are More than Test Scores, Dump Duncan, Unting4Kids, students4ourschools, Teachers Letters to Obama. There are more, but here is a start. We must take this country back as well as our schools.

Accountability
How come we have accountability galore, but Congress and other politicians are not held accountable for their bad deeds?

The JOY of learning
How to kids learn how to read? By reading and having others read to them and talk about what they read.
How to kids learn how to write? By writing and reading books and have someone respond to their writing in a positive way.
How many high-stakes tests did you take when you were in school?
Today, our kids are being tested to death. All this testing puts kids in boxes and kills creativity.
Down with high-stakes testing. Costs too much money and does no good.
If this country continues down this test and punish regime, pretty soon we will have a nation of BORGS...perfect for a fascist government.

The Constitution of the United States
All politicians must swear to uphold the Constitution of the United States. This is what they must say:
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God."
My question is: Why do so many of our elected officials do not uphold the United States Constitution when they are IN OFFICE?
