SCHOOL FOR THOUGHT

Are Canadian Parents Done Waiting Yet?

In the wake of the film “Waiting for Superman”, a national bi-partisan coalition of more than 200 grassroots education groups has formed in the US. Called “Done Waiting”, their first initiative is a petition that demands the following:

• Expansion of proven models, such as charter schools
• More professional and better-treated teachers
• Priority to kids’ interests over the politics of special interests

It will be interesting to see what Done Waiting does with its petition once it gets enough signatures. (H/T to Chas)
