National Eduation Association Urges Everyone to Sign Petition Ordering Congress to Fund America's Schools

Check out the NEA's website (which also includes a report on the NCLB lawsuits) to sign a petition they created to make sure that our government doesn't flake on their promise to provide the money our schools need to education our nation's children.

Plus, the NEA urges us all to contact our Senators, our Representatives, and even George W. himself and urge them to:

• Fully fund the Act before punishing cash-strapped school districts that don't meet all of the rules and regulations of the new law.
• Alter the one-size-fits all testing requirements so schools and children aren't judged on a single test score alone.
• Ensure that the teacher quality definition will not force qualified teachers from the classroom, while also closing loopholes that exempt charter schools and supplemental service providers from some of the requirements.
• Ensure that paraprofessionals receive the time and help they need to meet the NCLB requirements.
