RI Teacher Says"I Quit!"

If you've had enough and just can't take it any more, come to Washington in April to Occupy the Department of Education. http://unitedoptout.com/ All welcome!
Originally this video was intended to be seen by the members of the Providence School Board, Susan Lusi (Superintendent of Providence Schools), Deborah Gist (Commissioner of Education in Rhode Island) and, most of all, Chief Academic Officer Paula Shannon.

Now the video has taken on a life of its own. If you agree with what I've said, please pass it on to every teacher, every parent, every public school student and politician that you can think of.

Maybe something will change.

Common Core is driving out great teachers, replacing them with Borg facilitators and computer screens. We need to stand up against this machine!

Bless this teacher for his dedication to really teaching children. I wish him well.

Obviously a great teacher, a devoted teacher, and what the school systems across America need! Hip, hip, hooray!

I have a feeling many MANY uncountable teachers are in your shoes, but you weren't afraid to speak out and follow through with real action.

Major props. And admiration.

Try private school teaching? I've been a student at public and private and the students are definitely better behaved at private.
