A reader said that public school parents in Athens, Georgia, created this ad and put it in the local newspaper. Would your parents do this for your school?
Now, that’s parent support!

I loved it! I just sent it to many in my state and our PAA chapter. We will design our own and you do the same in your community.
PTO’s across the country can pitch in and take out ad space in a local paper.
Also, send an e-version during the first few weeks of school…to all – parents, teachers, local BOE, state BOE, politicians….E V E R Y B O D Y !
THANK YOU Athens, Georgia!
If they did that in NYC, Bloomberg would either lie aboiut it origins, saying it was financed by the UFT or he would crap himself if that many parents signed an ad.

FIRE DUNCAN! Hire Ravitch!
Most parents support their individual schools and teachers. It is nice to see them do so in such a public manner.
Yes, polls have told us over and over again that the majority of parents support their own schools. In the end, that’s what will save public education.
Isn’t it wonderful to see that kind of support?
