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 helping visual thinkers learn important skills and express their own profound stories through Video Storytelling. 
Video Storytelling is a powerfully effective, research-validated teaching tool which engages the students, communicates in a visual language, and creates movies in which the student is the star.  
Parents or educators can film the students acting out a social or educational concept, with support as needed.  Then we edit out the prompting.  As the students see themselves in the movie doing & saying something new, independently & successfully, the words, actions & skills become their own visual memory.
