On July 21, 2005 I started a blog called Schools Matter. And just a few days ago, we crossed the 20 million views threshold.
Twenty years later we are still plagued by high stakes tests and the corporate ed reform agenda. Added to these challenges, education as an idea and an institution is under attack as fascists attempt to dismantle all democratic institution and values, including facts, truth, science, art, speech, and intellectual and body freedom.
My thanks to all the writers, scholars, and bloggers who, too, thought schools mattered during the past two decades: Susan Ohanian, Judith Ann Rabinowitz, Peter Campbell, Kenneth Libby, Paul Thomas, Stephen Krashen, Doug Martin, Ken Derstine, and someone I know I’ve forgotten (please remind me). Thank you.
Happy Anniversary
