Ok. I hope some of you have had the chance to see the movie "Won't Back Down" or "Waiting For Superman". And hopefully it fired you up to hold your elected officials' feet to the fire.
BTW the Teachers strike in Chicago ended predictably. The teacher tenure is still in place and I repeat, this is the root of the problem. They do say that they will devise a plan to evaluate teachers but it is so weak it is and is meant to as a "saving face" measure for the Emanuel more than anything. Basically the teachers AKA Union Members will evaluate each other... http://www.nctq.org/p/tqb/viewStory.jsp?id=32759
Lest we forget, education is not meant to provide job security for teachers, but to EDUCATE our children.
