A nation decieved was free on request last time I checked. Maybe we should challenge ourselves to get a copy of that into all of our local libraries and schools?
Or how about... get separate copies into the hands of the District Sup, pertinent District Asst Sup, School Principal and perhaps even the GATE teacher/coordinator for School and/or District.
If I knew that the Belin-Blank Center had unlimited funds, I would love to do this.
I am admittedly guilty, though, of focusing my efforts on the here & now for my child. Negotiating for small changes rather than pushing for a district wide change-of-heart.
The noble goals take sooo long to accomplish, and my child would likely be long gone before anything meaningful happens. Right now, I barely have the time & energy to deal with him, so I'm being a little selfish.
If getting a copy of "A Nation Deceived" into policy-makers' hands would help, I know I could do that -- and could also muster up the energy for follow-up communication. But I think someone would need to lobby tirelessly from then on to see what, if anything, could be done.
