Elementary school students waking at 2 a.m. with nightmares about high-stakes tests. Middle schoolers stuck in crowded classrooms in underfunded schools. College grads whose reward for surviving it all is a lifetime of debt.
Our broken education system is squashing passion for learning, eroding the love of teaching, and grinding up generations of young people. It's time to reinvent education, and I need your help to get the word out.
Powerful special interests see schools only as sources of potential profit, and they blame the same hard-working teachers who buy supplies out of their own pockets for all of the problems in American education. The last thing they want is for millions of Americans to see this video.
Here's what American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten had to say about the video: "Reich's strategy to reinvent public education is a sensible, actionable way to give children the schools and services they need to succeed. Count me in."
Thanks for all you do.
–Robert Reich
