The Education Wars III: Pissing in the Wind

These teachers wrote an open letter to Harvard's education graduate school, but of course the school won't do a thing:

As veteran public school teachers, we are disappointed that the HGSE has not
shown the leadership it professes by speaking out against the unprecedented
attack on public education. To be sure, there have been courageous voices on your
faculty who have defended public schools and the endangered idea of educating the whole
child. We know that a thoughtful faculty does not think with one mind, and that there
will always be differences about what constitutes the most effective pedagogies or
curricula. But we have not heard the HGSE as an institution speak out on issues fundamental to the educational well-being of children and their schools.
