NYC Teachers Hit Back... At Long Friggin' LAST.

[HiPointDem]

40. maybe dumb if the audience is teachers, but a lot of the wider public actually doesn't give a rip

about teachers. in fact, they don't like them and are ready to believe the worst about them, as we've experienced.

if the conversation is just addressed to teachers, you lose.

besides, a global analysis of the roots of education reform in the finance sector doesn't have to be either long or dry. and imo the main point -- this isn't just an american thing -- is important, because it takes people out of the narrative created by the deformers -- that this is about bad american teachers and helping black students and improving education so we can all get great jobs and compete with all those countries that do education right.

but if the same thing is happening everywhere, even in those countries where education is supposedly superior to ours...

also -- people don't much like banksters & big corporations these days -- so timing is ideal for the message that those are the very people running this show.
