This is for every teacher who refuses to be blamed for the failure of our society to erase poverty and inequality, and refuses to accept assessments, tests and evaluations imposed by those who have contempt for real teaching and learning.

We have now gotten a US Made and Union shop to sell us BAT shirts in all designs at a low cost.
Bumper stickers are coming soon and we hope to add more shirt types (tank, polo) if there is interest in the t-shirts!
I noticed the link to the forum on BAT Facebook, where I have been participating regularly. This should make things much easier to keep up and keep threads organized.
I have been teaching high school Latin in CT for thirteen years, mostly in public schools, but also a bit in a Catholic school.
Ironically, I became highly aware of the corporate school profitization agenda over a year ago when applying for a job in Windham, CT. I did my research on the district, as one does, and discovered all the nefarious activity of which we are all now aware (it is a hotbed of rheeformy, hedgecator activity). I didn't get the job (they weren't seriously adding a language program anyway), but I got a hell of an education!

I just love the new lingo we educators are creating..."rheeformy" and "hedgecator". That last one is new to my "ears" (well, really to my EYES), but I get it! LOL!
