Rise to the Challenge
When I last posted a blog, I was challenged. The challenge was to THINK…AND DO!
I responded…
Well, life doesn’t lend itself well to being put on hold, but I did my best with the time I had and produced an alternative for Congress to consider. The problem is, Congress never wanted to consider any of the good ideas concerning No Child Left Behind that have been put before them over the last 15 years. My last attempt here, I’m calling the People’s Alternative.AND I’m passing on Gloria’s challenge to all of you who will accept it – THINK and DO.

The People’s Alternative turns back the clock to a time when ESEA was NOT an attempt to dictate an accountability system from the federal level.
The People’s Alternative offers a federal law that supports children in urban and rural slums in states unable to provide adequate educational resources.
Through the people he brought to D.C., JFK kept ideas alive in a law that he didn’t live to see. – ESEA …Both NCLB & ESSA kill the ideas. Compare.
The People’s Alternative is based on the principles written into law by the architects of the 1965 Elementary and Secondary Education Act with the addition of successful practices from the decades that followed. The law then got RESULTS.
