FAVORITE COMMENTS Mary Loughran Silva | Sept 18 Poverty does make a difference and teachers are not giving up on kids when we state the obvious. It is not humanly possible in the school day to make up for the missing experiences, zero support systems or lack of schema that children living in poverty have to overcome. How can these kids come from behind and somehow end up at the same place as students who come to school well- nourished and supported? Mark Naison | Sept 12 Can Michelle Rhee lead 50,000 people through the streets of Chicago? Bill Gates? Arne Duncan? Jonah Edelman? Hell no! But Karen Lewis can! And that's the message that needs to go out to teachers around the country! We are not condemned to be passive victims of Corporate Ed Reformers! United, we have the power to fight back and defend our students from policies that will deaden their minds, weaken their bodies and make them hate school! VIRAL VIDEO Who is funding Prop. 32? This TV ad points out that the people who are funding Proposition 32 are the same corporate special interests that it exempts. It's not what it seems. www.VoteNoOn32.org October 2012 www.cta.org 5 FAMILIES HELP REV KIDS' ENGINES!
