I am so glad you wrote this post. You took the words right
out of my mouth! Let's keep this dialogue going! I want to
hear your opinion on this...the teacher's organizations, who
should fight for us, are selling us out because they push the
Democrats who want fed led ed. The DOE doesn't belong in our
schools pushing Common Core and Pearson testing. The teacher
organizations are pushing the agenda that makes teachers not
have any say at all in the classroom. Yes, I know it was Bush
who brought in NCLB. So let's brainstorm about what we can
do! Is the opt out movement doing any good?
