If you blog and if you support public education as a pillar of our democracy, consider joining the Education Bloggers Network.
This is an informal group that was assembled by Jonathan Pelto of Connecticut.
There are no responsibilities or burdens, just the opportunity to share your work with others across the nation who share your passion and interests.
Please contact Jonathan Pelto at jonpelto@gmail.com if you wish to become part of this dynamic group, which now includes more than 100 independent bloggers.
This is how Jon describes the Bloggers Network:
“The Education Bloggers Network is a confederation of more than 110 bloggers who are dedicated to supporting public education and pushing back against the corporate education reform industry.
Like the Committees of Correspondence leading up to America’s War for Independence, the bloggers work alone and in groups to educate, persuade and mobilize parents, teachers, education advocates and citizens to stand up and speak out against those who seek to privatize our public education system and turn our schools into little more than Common Core testing factories.
The Education Bloggers Network developed in conjunction with the role out of “Reign of Error,” and has become a vibrant community of advocacy journalists dedicating to ensuring citizens have accurate and timely information about public education issues at the local, state and federal level.
If you blog about education issues and would like to join or learn more about the Education Bloggers Network, contact Jonathan Pelto, a Connecticut blogger who is helping to guide the development of the Network. You can find Jonathan Pelto’s blog, called Wait, What? at http://www.jonathanpelto.com or email him at jonpelto@gmail.com

Is the Gates’ Common Core Agenda Against Federal Law?
In formal education, a curriculum (/kəˈrɪkjʉləm/; plural: curricula /kəˈrɪkjʉlə/ or curriculums) is the planned interaction of pupils with instructional content, materials, resources, and processes for evaluating the attainment of educational objectives. This process includes the use of literacies and datagogies that are interwoven through the use of digital media and/or texts that address the complexities of learning.
The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) was passed as a part of President Lyndon B. Johnson’s “War on Poverty” and has been the most far-reaching federal legislation affecting education ever passed by Congress. The act is an extensive statute that funds primary and secondary education, while explicitly forbidding the establishment of a national curriculum.
Can parents make a citizen’s arrest of local school officials?
Are Gates and Arnie Duncan a fugitives from the law?

This post identifies where Pelto’s quote begins but not where it ends. If one wanted to share his view with others (as I do), certainty about where the quote ends would be helpful. Richard Ognibene
