There is a time for everything. This is the time to march!

Barry Lane interviewed a few years back at the New England Reading Assocaition Conference in Massachusetts for a movie he is working on called "Why Do Schools Matter" Barry asked me does poverty matter. This is the link to that interview. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71O0ChPFzAI

Why poverty Matters, and why marching to end poverty matters

When my neighbors and colleagues say Jesse why are you always marching?
I say 1.2 trillion dollars for NCLB the most massive education reform policy in the history of American Public Education.
Why aren't you marching with me?
Next I say 49 states spend more money on their wealthy schools than their poor schools.
Why aren't you marching with me?
Then I say, after 15 years of NCLB/RTTT Test and Punish policies our 12th graders are now scoring lower on reading than they did in 1988. So what did our politicians do? They gave us ESSA. It does more of the same, but puts governors in charge. You know those 49 governors who spend more on their wealthy schools than their poor schools.
Why are aren't you marching with me?
Finally I say for the first time in 50 years 50% of our American children coming to public schools are living in poverty. Poverty matters.
Why aren't you marching with me?
There is a time for everything.
This is the time march.
