I think a gesture toward PS teachers and our unions would go a long way, right about now.
The president and his Sec of Ed ( elite private school products w. kiddies tucked away in ... you got it... elite private schools) have, for the last four years, been looking down their noses at inner-city urban PS schools; and at the folks who've made a career out of working with these PS kids ... and their families... none of whom either Obama or Duncan would ever, under ANY circumstances, go *near*.
We/you ( the Obama campaign, the DEM Party) need $$ and volunteers. People who will donate AND then cross state lines to canvass and knock on doors in battleground states. ( I personally can get to PA, NH, and OH).
My email inbox overfloweth w. entreaties to do any and all of the above.
I will not, (I *CAN NOT*), move if you persist in promoting the GATES/RHEE/KOCH/BLOOMBERG multi-billionaire agenda for de-unionizing, amateurizing and trivializing my profession.
"Ze choice" is yours, seems to me. What say you?
Which side are you on?
