Our best schools nurture our children, make them feel safe, and able<br />to take the risks they need to in order to learn. But our schools are in danger<br />of becoming even more narrowly focused on test preparation, while class sizes<br />rise, and teachers are blamed for the ravages poverty inflicts on their<br />students. <br /> <br />We are responding. We love our schools. We declare<br />Valentine’s Day, 2011, to be I Love Public Education Blog Day. On this day we<br />will write our hearts out, about why it is that public education is so<br />important to us, our children, and our democratic society. If you or your readers will join us and tell why you love public education too, send your comments and posts to saveourschoolsmarch@gmail.com.<br />Writing will be displayed at the www.SaveOurSchoolsmarch.org website, and will be tweeted with the<br />hashtag #LovePublicEd. We offer the march and events of July 28 to 31st<br />in Washington, DC, as a focal point for this movement, and we ask participants<br />to link to this event, so we can build momentum for our efforts. If your readers wish to repeat this post on their own blog, we would love it.democracy's edgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16962079171743555214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5973827.post-8218908836429635912011-02-02T22:36:11.268-05:002011-02-02T22:36:11.268-05:00Word on reforming colleges.

A friend of mine and I got into an argument about this issue, with her defending her French art history degree (she works in retail now) and me bemoaning my useless (except for law school) Poli Sci/Communication degree. While it is nice to have the option to major in English, what the hell is an English degree, really? I mean REALLY? Then again I am a huge fan of vo-tech and more pragmatic career prep.TeacherPattinoreply@blogger.com
