NYC Public School Parents: Video: my testimony before the Cuomo Commission

NYC Public School Parents: Video: my testimony before the Cuomo Commission:


Video: my testimony before the Cuomo Commission

Video of my testimony yesterday before the Cuomo Education Reform Commission, in a tiny crowded cafeteria room at Hostos College.

My written testimony, complete with charts and citations, is posted here, as well as a description of a disappointing day in which many parents, educators and advocates were shut out of the tiny room and/or excluded from speaking.

Also check out what Lauren Cohen, NYC teacher, of Change the Stakes would have said, if she had allowed been allowed to speak, and see GothamSchools' account of the morning's events.
