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!
We have a new superintendent. And things are already going very poorly, to say the least. His name is Dexter Suggs, and he came from Indiana. What can Indiana teachers tell me about your experience with him?

You have a great leader and a all around good person. His no nonsense approach and dedication to insuring that everyone is held accountable for educating children was very needed in Indianapolis. We really miss him and would love for him to come back to IPS.
Also, in a district as troubled as ours, his number one concern and first order of business is freaking teacher dress code. He came in first thing and took an adversarial position against teachers. And now he's holding a "convocation" to speak to the high school students. Another opportunity for him to feed his own giant ego. Meanwhile, my kids are being pulled out of class, instruction being interrupted, AGAIN. He can't be gone fast enough.
