Vote Today

Vote today. Tell your friends to vote. Bring your children to the polls. Democracy and public education intersect in many ways, one of the most important is via the election of those who govern our schools. Be part of that.

I am also reminded of a quote from an educator’s blog about democracy and education:

If we believe in democracy we need to believe in all kids.

My endorsements are here.

What we care about

This from a new blog in town:

Assumption 3: We’re all white.

I only collected and compared scores of white/Caucasian students. I did this for two reasons.

First, I was specifically concerned with my kids’ opportunities not yours.

Last time around the author of the blog supported Cole and Mathiak.

This from John Dewey:

“What the best and wisest parent wants for his own child, that must the community want for all its children”
