Diane Ravitch’s Blog: Help this Video Go Viral!
I am reposting this because when I first posted it, the link didn’t work. It is a 3-minute video made by public school parents in Néw York City. My son Michael, the father of a second grader in a Brooklyn public school, is one of them. He is not in the video but he is very active in ParentVoicesNY.
Do you want to know what parents really think?
Do you want to know what students really think?
Don’t ask a group funded by billionaires.
Ask parents and students.
Watch this video, made by parents in New York City. If that doesn’t work,try here on YouTube.
It is addressed to Mayor-Elect Bill de Blasio but it could just as well be addressed to every governor, state legislator, Congressman, and mayor in the nation.
The message from parents and children:
I am not a test score. I am so much more.
Educate me. Let me love learning without the threat of a test hanging over my head at every moment.
Please help this video go viral.
