“Talk out of School” is back! And how you can support smaller classes and student privacy while shopping.
Dear friends —
I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends.
For your gift-giving this holiday season, I wanted to let you know that if you plan to shop via Amazon, please consider doing it via Amazon Smile, which will donate .5% of the purchase price to Class Size Matters. Just click smile.amazon.com/ch/20-2169746, and start shopping to support our advocacy on class size and student privacy.
You can also make a tax-deductible donation directly to Class Size Matters in someone’s name. Simply enter his or her name and email address in our online donation system, and we’ll send them a message, letting them you have generously contributed in their honor.
Finally, after an extended hiatus, the “Talk out of School” radio show I co-host on alternate weeks with Carol Burris has resumed on WBAI radio. On Wednesday, it featured a fascinating interview with Naftuli Moster, the founder of YAFFED, about his efforts to ensure that ultra-Orthodox Jewish youth receive their legally-mandated right to an adequate education. You can listen to it here. Earlier shows can be streamed here.
Next Wed. at 10, on WBAI 99.5. or online at www.wbai.org, my guest will be none other than Diane Ravitch, talking about the Presidential politics and her new book, “Slaying Goliath” about the resistance to privatization and corporate reform. Hope you’ll tune in!
Thankful, as always, for your support, Leonie
