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."

"Students as Geraniums on the Window Sill: Students, Neoliberal Education Reform and Prophesy in Children's Literature"

That'd be a Hell of an article, wouldn't it? Who knew the 1971 classic could foretell so much about 21st-century education reform movements and, especially, about the teachers and teacher educators who go about their business as usual with no regard to fighting the worst elements of the movement -- Common Core, government over-reach, value-added metrics.




Of course, a counter story could be written in which the teacher or teacher educator character returns home and just tries to make ends meet on her meager salary, content to fly under the radar and not make waves so she can just barely put enough food on the table to feed her kids. "I'm not wearing blinders!" she might neigh. " I'm just laser-focused and not trying to look a gift horse in the mouth when it comes to having a job!"
