Custom Stickers, Die Cut Stickers, Bumper Stickers - Sticker Mule



Sharing information and reporting on all that reeks in American education, especially corporate reform in K12 education, the agenda to privatize the right to a free public education for every child, and general corruption in K12-higher education. Calling out and exposing rather than cowering.

AND eager for your help. Have a story of power, manipulation, self-interest or injustice which needs attention? Let me know and we'll let the world discover "what's that smell."

A Very VAM-py Christmas! A Gift For You


http://gareth-owen.blogspot.com/2010/11/christmas-vampire.html 

 Just for you, loyal readers and jolly newcomers: All of Edustank's major entries on dangerous VAM (Value-Added Models) of education assessment via one *hot, hot link.*

 What can you get me in return? Be sure to add your voice against VAM in teacher prep by commenting through *here.*

 At my last count, only 205 folks had published comments. As well, contact your local, state, and national leaders to let them know you know VAMps belong in the movies, not in education policy!
I'm sure Grace Jones agrees VAM-ps work best in movies, not education. 


And be sure to do so by January 2, 2015. That February deadline you might see at Regulations.gov isn't quite accurate if you want your comment considered by folks on committee. 

In the meantime, Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas. Ed Reform-Critical Boxer and I do Christmas, obviously, but we wish you well no matter what you'll celebrate. May you honor our gift and gift request, and may 2015 present us a banner year in moving away from capitalist philanthropies with profit margins and hedges at their center and toward the kinds of equity- and equality-, socially conscious-, and responsibility- and humanitarian-focused reforms actually needed in K12 public schools and beyond and which put children at the center of reform, not $$$$$$.
