SPEAK OUT

I had an amazing opportunity to join a luncheon in support of the KIPP schools. The discussion format a panel including Mike Feinberg, co-founder of KIPP, a state representative, and an educational reformer.  Looking around the room I knew "they were preaching to the choir." How do you spread the word, light the fire under people that we MUST do something about our educational system? The successful independent charter school model takes dedication, effective teachers, commitment, and a lot of financial backing. It is not the only answer.

Let your local government know how you feel about education. Don't let them put it on the back burner. We can't move forward if we don't speak out and let our voices heard! It takes the click of the mouse to SHOUT OUT and say WE NEED CHANGE!
