The conference for trainning anti NLCB activist were sold out as well. My thinking is 100,000 sounds reasonable since it is an election year. I enjoyed reading your blog.<br />See you next year in DC,<br />JesseJesse Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02556420250629971130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-235655313607365412.post-64667494564371756782011-07-31T23:06:26.434-04:002011-07-31T23:06:26.434-04:00Your blog is absolutely amazing...and so is your m...Your blog is absolutely amazing...and so is your message. When I read this, I got goose bumps, because it was as though you were able to open up my head (and my heart) and understand what was inside, all the frustration and sadness I feel for the kids, yet the glimmer of hope that if we come together and stand strong, "we will prevail". I am a NYC teacher fighting for the same cause as you are: our children are not numbers, they are whole people who deserve to be celebrated for all their talents and taught in a manner which is equitable. I told my sixth graders this on the day of the NYS ELA test with one ear towards the door, fearing someone in admin would hear me. I was unable to march this weekend, and was very upset about it, and I obsessively followed it on twitter whenever I could. NOTHING short of a tornado, a wildfire, or a Tsunami will stop me from marching next summer in DC. I admire your tenacity, your strength, and most of all, your love, commitment, and understanding of the children of America. I am an ed blogger as well, adding your blog to my blog roll, and joining your group on FB. www.americasfutureinsidestory.blogspot.comChalk Dusterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08983784261421373401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-235655313607365412.post-77314122097489880802011-07-31T22:57:55.922-04:002011-07-31T22:57:55.922-04:00Hi Jesse, Here is the link to the blog: http://tea...Hi Jesse, Here is the link to the blog: http://teachersaschangeagents.wordpress.com/2011/07/31/this-is-what-democracy-looks-like-the-save-our-schools-rally-and-march-in-washington-d-c-73011/<br /><br />xoxo<br />KatieKate stromhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17052962199206179288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-235655313607365412.post-49296106045657932112011-07-31T10:08:38.234-04:002011-07-31T10:08:38.234-04:00Go,Walking Man, Go!Go,Walking Man, Go!Chuck Olynykhttp://rememberfremont.webs.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-235655313607365412.post-36850494123102391942011-07-31T08:47:31.175-04:002011-07-31T08:47:31.175-04:00Just in case you like to know what the Walking Man...Just in case you like to know what the Walking Man is listening to on his way to this morning's Save Our Schools Congress...<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2NEU6Xf7lM&feature=relatedJesse Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02556420250629971130noreply@blogger.com
