There is change in Devner

If you have not read The Slate's coverage of the education reform rally in Denver before the Democratic National Convention then I strongly urge you to do so now. This is truly a watershed moment in American politics. Democrats are finally realizing that the teacher’s unions are doing their job – working hard to get better pay and working conditions for their members and if that conflicts with improving schools, schools lose. As Senator Peter Groff stated – with much applause – "when the children's agenda meets the adult agenda, the adult agenda wins too often".

This is a great day in education reform. To see city leaders taking a stand on what is right for students and not worrying about the political ramifications is truly amazing. It provides inspiration to teams like our staff at ABCTE who are battling to do what is right for students to know that others out there are working just as hard for our schools.
