More action in Charlotte
PAA Charlotte NC affiliate MecklenburgACTS.org is helping organize a Community Rally for Public Education to be held in Charlotte on May 10.
This event will be at the first Moral Monday of the legislative season in Raleigh that begins on May 19.
Details are on the flyer to your left and on the
MecklenburgACTS.org
web site.
MecklenburgACTS.org is a supporting sponsor, and they hope to get a big turnout in order to let state legislators know how serious their voters are about improving the conditions in which our state's teachers work, and our state's children learn.
A Big Idea
Don't miss this
great article by Danielle Arnold-Schwartz, leader of PAA-Suburban Philadelphia, which we have re-posted on the PAA blog. It is about how many teachers feel they cannot speak up about testing and its related issues, and how it is the parents who have the power of our voices.
