Yesterday I was in the crowd of 15,000 teachers and supporters protesting cuts to our pension. I was too far away to hear the speakers but you can read about them elsewhere. What I took note of was the many handmade signs. Here are some of them: Care about Educators like they care for your child
How can students get ahead if we leave teachers behind?
Children are our special interest group!
You can't Race to the Top without good teachers
Fund good schools, Close Tax Loopholes
No Teacher Left Behind
What's more important than a good education?
We're ensuring their future. Who will ensure ours?
Teachers: you get what you pay for
Don't make me use my teacher voice!!!
From Egypt to Annapolis to Wisconsin
Funds for schools, Close tax loopholes
Stop the corporate corruption of Government
Union Workers won the Superbowl
