britten.jpgRex Larsen | The Grand Rapids PressGodfrey-Lee Schools Superintendent Dave Britten tells district employees of the budget problems that will lead to serious cuts to programs and staffing.

WYOMING — Godfrey-Lee Superintendent Dave Britten likened the public education cuts proposed by Gov. Rick Snyder to the military pulling billions of dollars and every tenth person from commanders in Afghanistan, and asking them to “get better and win.”

“Where’s the logic?” he asked employees Friday while explaining the district’s financial woes and why more than 100 of them may get pink-slipped in April.

Glum faces greeted his outline for not just staff cuts, but significant program and curriculum cutbacks that would happen if Snyder’s plan passes the Legislature unchanged.

Message of Solidarity from a Haitian Teachers’ Union to the Workers in Wisconsin

by jillhopke

Union Nationale des Normaliens d’Haïti (UNNOH)

313, Rue Joseph Janvier

Port-au-Prince, HAITI

Le 06 Mars 2011

The Executive Council of the National Union of Teachers’ College Graduates of Haiti (UNNOH) has received word of the huge and difficult struggle which you are in the midst of waging against the Governor of your State, who is attempting to trample underfoot your legitimate rights by getting an anti-union law passed. These rights, which were acquired by means of tough battles and for which the blood of workers has been shed, may on no account be given away. Therefore there is a categorical imperative, to cite Immanuel Kant, to carry on this fight until ultimate victory, so as to block the vote for such a law and to consolidate the gains which the Governor intends to take away from the comrades in the public sector unions.

In the name of the duty of union solidarity, UNNOH brings to you, comrades of the State of Wisconsin, our firm support in this struggle for the respect of union rights. We urge our comrades there to keep going, to hold firm, in spite of the enormous difficulties which stand in your path. Because victiry is not far off!

For the Executive Council of the National Union of Teachers’ College Graduates of Haiti (UNNOH):

Josué Merilien

Coordinator General

The Nation: Tractors Roll Into Madison, As Wisconsin Readies for the Biggest Protest Yet

By CD - Posted on 12 March 2011

March 11, 2011- The numbers tell the story of Wisconsin’s resistance, and its resilience.

The tens.

The hundreds.

The thousands.

The tens of thousands.

The hundreds of thousands.

Wisconsinites from every background, every religion, every politics and every job have filled the Capitol Square for the past month.

Their message has been clear and unequivocal. They oppose Scott Walker’s assault on working families. They oppose the lawless actions of legislative leaders who are more

Daily Kos: Here's an opportunity for input to my classroom

Here's an opportunity for input to my classroom

by rss@dailykos.com (teacherken)

I have been given an opportunity by my principal to explore the use of personal electronic technology and social media in an instructional context in my classroom. Currently students are not allowed to have their personal electronics - phones and mp3 players - on during the school day. Of course that is unrealistic on several levels.

First, we are trying to instruct students while attempting to disconnect them from how they interact with the world.

Second, it doesn't work. On Friday, in my three AP classes and my one American Scholars class, I asked students to be honest - no punishment would be applied - and tell me how many had their phones or mp3

Comparison of “Right-to-Work” Language in Maine, New Hampshire, Missouri Bills Reveals Alarming Similarities

by E.M. Ployd
Dirigo Blue has decided to examine “Right-to-Work” bills introduced in three states, suspicious of who is actually behind the 8-state Right-to-Work effort. Americans for Prosperity, a “free market” advocacy group founded by David Koch, has been shopping a right to work initiative for Michigan’s ballot since 2008. And this year can be found “right to
