Working for Education - Working for Children
Thanks to Charles Blow’s NY Times oped for a pitch-perfect back-to-school message and tribute to the teacher who turned his life around:
It was the first time that I felt a teacher cared about me, saw me or believed in me. It lit a fire in me. I never got a bad grade again. I figured that Mrs. Thomas would always be able to see me if I always shined. I always wanted to make her as proud of me as she seemed to be that day. And, she always was.
Your support means CPS can continue fighting for public schools by
* advocating for fully funding the Student Opportunity Act, and by advocating for increased state support for our public colleges; and, to support increasing state revenues to ensure school funding.
* organizing to press state policy makers to cancel the high-stakes MCAS and shift to better forms of assessment.
* and educating policy makers and the public about the very real threat of charter schools, vouchers, tax credits and other privatization schemes.
