Teachers in Seattle are standing up to plutocrats like Bill Gates to oppose their view of education:
In 2014 political power resides in monetary wealth and public policy is being determined by the mega-rich not the expert practitioner-in many professions. No one is asking teachers what schools need. .... People must stand up to this oligarchical shift and reclaim public schools with the whole child at the center. Business reformers need to spread their expertise in places where they know what they are talking about. Teachers are experts when it comes to student learning. Ask us what kids need to thrive and learn. We are happy to tell you.
