In fact, I have blogged ...I know a bit about them. In fact, I have blogged about them several times at dailykos and elsewhere. I know George Wood, and have been in electronic contact with Angela Valenzuela over the years.<BR/><BR/>They are committed to the principles of Sizer's Coalition of Essential Schools. Also, several of the principals have been very active in lobbying on NCLB, and are active participants with Monty Neill of Fairtest in the Forum for Educational Accountability. <BR/><BR/>You will note the several of the people are or have been directly involved with schools. Wood left Miami University to take over as principal of Federal Hocking. Deborah Meier has run schools in both NY and MA. Pedro Noguera was if memory serves at one point n the school board in Berkeley CA. <BR/><BR/>These are people committed to a more democratic approach to education, in every possible sense of democracy. It is a good group of people, and yes, they are worth following.teacherkenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02225551101423123044noreply@blogger.com
