I promise their time is coming. That NCLB/RTTT train hits the wall December 2013. They have been trying to renew NCLB every year since 2005 without success. Thank you for speaking out students and teachers, and thank you for 51 years of unbroken service. I think I hear those Bronx students cheering bravo Ms. Mayer. <br />People Janet book is a great inside look at teaching.Jesse Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02556420250629971130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-235655313607365412.post-79701169115209895772012-03-22T17:14:38.694-04:002012-03-22T17:14:38.694-04:00At the age of 73 1/2, after 51 years of teaching i...At the age of 73 1/2, after 51 years of teaching in NYC public schools, after recently having my book published, AS BAD AS THEY SAY? ,after teaching over 14,000 public school students who are my heroes,after just returning from speaking at Princeton University, I will continue to speak out against such so-called reforms as NCLB and RTTT and so called reformers such as Bill Gates, the Walton Family, Eli Broad, Mayor Bloomberg, Arnie Duncan and President Obama and others of their ilk.These non-educators must be held accountable for the demise of public education. I will fight to my last breathe!<br /><br />Janet Mayer http://asbadastheysay.info/Janet Mayerhttp://asbadastheysay.info/noreply@blogger.com
