This is a collection of adults and children's messages that challenge public school to become something more than it is - messages that dare public school to serve students' passions instead of politicians and vendors' coffers.
So many of the divisions and false notions of social order we cling to as adults are entrenched in the culture of public education. We want to take our next step in challenging that culture, and we ask for your help in helping us capture and share counter-narratives to today's test-addled, pop notions of schooling.

I occupy education because I believe strong schools and strong teachers not corporate for-profit reformers makes Oregon and the nation strong! I occupy education by helping to end standardize testing and to support Holistic quality public education that is centered on passion and project based learning, meaningful and engaging work, a connection to place and life and treats every student, teachers and family as if they matter. I occupy education because a strong public education system supports a strong democracy!
