On Wednesday, parents and community activists are going to protest the NYC Education “retrospective” which will present papers on the Bloomberg/Klein “Children First” education policies.
We have reasons to believe that this event will whitewash the Bloomberg/Klein record, and that little or no mention will be made about rising class sizes, overcrowding, state test score inflation, high discharge and “push out” rates, the spread of substandard credit recovery programs, and/or the fact that parents and communities have been completely excluded from having any say as to how our children’s schools are run.
Please join us!
Where: Wednesday, November 10 from 8AM- 10 AM
Where: New York Marriott Downtown, 85 West Street at Albany St., map here: (take the 1,4,5,N,R to Rector St.)
For more on this conference, see here: http://nycpublicschoolparents.blogspot.com/2010/11/nov-10-nyc-education-reform.html
All are invited; please also let us know if you’d like your organization to be listed on the flyer as a co-sponsor.
Co-sponsored by: Class Size Matters, CAPE, GEM, NY Charter Parents Association, and the Brooklyn Young Mothers' Collective.
And please spread the word!
Thanks,
Leonie Haimson, Lisa Donlan, John Battis, Mona Davids, and Hannah Wohl
