Help, or get out of the way.

Dear Mr. King, Bloomberg, Cuomo, Gates, Stephen Perry, Ms. Rhee...

     We don't need you to tell us how to teach, or what children need. The very fact that you don't actually seem to know yourself should be the red velvet rope that keeps you out of our way, watching if you want, snapping pictures if you'd like, but basically staying out of our business. We don't hide our kids in gated communities or well-funded private schools while we systematically destroy the schools other people's children attend (all the while criticizing the victims).

     We show how we care for the children of others every single day. All children-not just the ones we hope to measure and filter in a corporate/profit oriented system. So pitch in and take the shovel and sandbags we'll hand you, or get out of our way and just watch.
