Heather Hicks, leader of our newest PAA chapter, PAA-Ocean County NJ, has just posted a devastating video showing how the chief operating officer of iNACOL (the International Association of K-12 Online Learning) gave a workshop at a Pearson conference focusing on her as the prime example of how parents must be managed so that they don't get in the way of the blended learning steamroller.

Bruce Friend, the presenter and COO of iNACOL, talks about the company's "anger" over Heather's testimony, suggests that she is simply ignorant about technology (though she knows enough to create this excellent video...) and shows screenshots of Heather's son's school work, among other unpleasant and inappropriate moments.  

Please share Heather's story  widely! Parents need to know what these online education hucksters really think of us....

See you soon at NPE!
