Let's Talk....

When you analyze the talk about education in this country, it seems to fall into two categories: teachers whining about what is wrong (witness this blog) and state and federal "leaders" who have never set foot in a classroom to actually teach. We need to change that. If the very fabric of our society is to survive and develop an educational system that will create thinkers and creatives to work on the world's problems, then we need to change the rhetoric.

NO MORE WHINING!! This blog will remain a place to vent our frustrations at what is wrong with the day-to-day job of teaching, BUT...

Welcome to The Education Dreamers - a place to start a national dialogue about REDESIGNING education. Not fixing it. Not throwing more money at it. Not reforming it.

REDESIGNING IT!!

What is it the American people want and believe their education should be?

We need a national dialogue - we need to move our leaders into action on education. It can't be a "throw-away" election issue. It needs to be from the ground up. We need the swell of support and new ideas. Bobby Kennedy said in 1968:

People look at things as they are and say "why?" I look at things as they could be and say "why not?"
