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 by running a program that makes it possible for students of all abilities and learning styles to learn about computing and technology, the arts, and more, that supports students in their pursuit of postsecondary education and careers of choice, and that is encouraging other schools to say “you can” to students, instead of “you can’t do that because you are a special education student”.
