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 do not teach students.  I lead them through the wonders of science and allow them to make connections to their lives.  I do not lecture.  I show students how to do science their own way.  I do not stick to “the” scientific method.  I make science meaningful and accessible to all students.  I occupy education.
