"Do you think nobody would willingly entrust his children to you or pay you for teaching them? Why do you have to extort your fees and collect your pupils by compulsion?" - Isabel Paterson "A child educated only at school is an uneducated child." - George Santayana

NEA Convention
Mike Antonucci of the Education Intelligence Association has updates of the NEA Convention on his BLOG Intercepts. Intercepts is a must read this past week. Obama has labeled himself the candidate of change. The NEA has endorsed Obama by the lowest margin of any other democratic presidential candidate, they appear not to be ready for the changes Obama wants to make. The NEA booed Obama when he mentioned both charter schools and merit pay. The videos can be seen on the EIA website, what is most interesting is that in later videos the NEA rewrote history and took out the comments about charter schools and merit pay that Obama made.
