the premature death of public education

i am frustrated and disgusted by the political climate in the united states regarding many things but most importantly toward public education. in addition, i believe that if private donors, like bill gates and mark zuckerberg, want to contribute to improving public education, they need to NOT tie their "donations" to their personal agenda. public school teachers have been vilified by media, politicians and non-educators. they have no understanding for the challenges that we face every day in our classrooms. this post is only to make the small statement that public education should NOT be assassinated in this country. it should be nurtured and supported. i'll be back with more.
