Students, Parents and Teachers Respond to Diane Ravitch's Call: Letters to the White House!
Follow me on Twitter at @AnthonyCody
Diane Ravitch has issued a call for all of us - teachers, parents, students, administrators, and citizens who care about education, to write letters to our elected representatives, starting with the White House. The deadline to have your letter included is October 17.
Write from your heart about your hopes and concerns about education in America. Write about what you see happening in your school. Let President Obama know what you think, before this historic election on November 6.
You can submit your letter to this guestbook, or the comment section below, and all letters submitted by October 17 will be assembled into a document which will be made available for download. A printed and bound collection will be sent directly to the White House and Department of Education on October 18, 2012.
I volunteered to help Diane gather the letters, so I have been collecting them as they are submitted. Just as when I collected Teachers' Letters to Obama three years ago, the wisdom and experience they contain is remarkable.
