Weekly Update for the Week of December 18th : The Privatization and Commercialization of our Public Schools and Critical Thinking Skills
Beginning on Monday, December 26th, the focus of this blog will be on charter schools. Why charter schools? Because Stand for Children, the League of Education Voters, the Washington State PTA along with DFER will be descending upon our representatives in Olympia trying to convince them that the privatization of our public schools is what our state and children need.
I and others say “Au contraire!” and I will let you know why beginning on Monday. Also, watch for this same crowd to push for evaluations of teachers and principals based on test scores…again. They have their two “mega bills”, as they are calling them, lined up and ready to be presented in committee meetings starting in January.
