This is a message to the billionaires, the hedge fund managers, and the politicians–and their paid spokespersons in think tanks and academe— who continually complain about our public schools and their teachers.

They need to expand their horizons and look elsewhere for the causes and the solutions to the problems in our schools and our communities.
Please urge any reformers you know to watch this video. It will change their world view.
