I make no claims to be grammatically correct at all times. I am subject to typos and errors. However, if you are going to send a mass email about EDUCATION, maybe you should have a couple of people look over a draft before hitting the send button. Below is an email I received today. I will highlight the most obvious errors.
Eric – For the last few years, we’ve seen a systematic assault on public education in North Carolina. First, they underfunded and our classrooms and refused to give our best and brightest teachers the pay they deserve.
Then they siphoned money away from traditional public schools to unaccountable charter schools, as well as private, religious institutions. Now we’re seeing the next step in their plan: the takeover of public schools by for-profit charter schools.
Click here to add your name and urge lawmakers to reject HB 1080, which would allow unaccountable, for-profit charter school operators to take control of traditional public schools.
There’s no doubt that many NC schools are struggling and need help. But they don’t need to a takeover, they need textbooks, veteran teachers and a safe, comfortable environmental for students.
Instead of actually helping struggling schools, politicians in Raleigh are more interested in shaming students and educators with letter-grades and the threat of takeovers.
If you need any other evidence that this bill is bad for NC, just look at who is supporting it. Koch-brothers backed Americans for Prosperity are among the bills strongest proponents. So who do you stand with – teachers or right-wing billionaires?
Click here to add your name and join thousands who are standing with our traditional public schools and opposing any bill that would allow for-profit charters to take control of our schools.
We’ll be watching this and other education bills closely as they move through the legislature. Thanks for staying engaged!
Sincerely,
