Don't miss this youtube video, a satire on keeping teachers accountable for every second of their day. Says Ravitch: "Cathy Sproul has created a video demonstrating a new and highly effective way of keeping teachers on script at all times and making them exceedingly accountable. It is perfectly aligned to the Common Core standards, and it never fails to work. It is also eerily reminiscent of the Gates Foundation's hilarious (but real) investment in Galvanic Response Skin Monitor bracelets, to monitor students' level of interest and engagement, thus providing yet another way to evaluate teacher effectiveness.

"Rob Kall's book is amazing. He's created a real breakthrough, visionary how-to for a sustainable, quality future. Like Saul Alinski's Rules for Radicals, this book is destined to become a classic must-read for all those concerned with social, economic, and environmental justice in today's interconnected world. Story shapes the world and our world needs new stories if we are to survive and thrive. The story of the bottom-up evolution and revolution is one that can change individuals, groups, businesses, religions, and governments for the positive as it shows how bottom-up inclusiveness, connectedness, collaboration, empathy, innovation, and freeform creativity can help unleash the great potentials for good inherent in our very nature. If you want to improve things in your world and the world, first read this book, then apply the suggestions. Change is sure to come."
