Whenever someone asks, "What can I do?" My general response is to join the professional discourse. Teachers have an obligation to make their professional voices heard on all issues regarding their professional lives. Debra Craig is doing just that. She is angry about the thoughtless political approach to education that is imposed on American public schools by No Child Left Behind and she is going to do something about it. I say hooray for Debra. So the question remains, just what will you do to enter the debate? To make your voice heard?
"High school teacher, author, and education advocate Debra Craig will be traveling 3,000 miles to Hartford, Connecticut to give her two minutes worth on why NCLB is bad for public schools with it's obsession on raising test scores and not looking realistically at the cultural problem that exists in public schools."
