“As the character Peter Finch played in the classic movie Network said,’I am Mad as hell, and I’m not going to take it anymore.’ I have the same sentiments over the ongoing No child Left Behind (NCLB), aka No child Left, aka No Teacher Left Teaching, and of course, the Voucher Set-Up Act. As a result, I am pledging to do what I can to delete this offensive law from our consciousness and get back to a gentler, more sensible classroom environment. I am talking about building support in our educational ranks to usher in programs that build self-esteem, create options for our children, expose them to the arts and valuable vocational and training opportunities, and of course teach reading, writing, ‘rithmatic, respect, responsibility, and reason.” (05/31/07)
