   Serendipity? The first LAUSD Schoolboard District 2 candidate forum falls on that evening.

   There will be talk about changing the direction of school “reform” there for sure.

     That’s good. A propitious time to encourage everyone to send emails.

   I am posting this on all the facebook pages I belong to. Do you have a uniform e-mail address to send to Pres. Obama and Sec. of Ed. Duncan?
   I’ll post ALL of this and the letters then! We CAN make a difference!! (We have to)

   This is a very good idea, Diane. Is there a website set up to help promote this, or some other well-packaged way of getting this information out to people?

     I am a technological babe in the woods. Cannot set up a FB page. I promise to alert readers of this blog, remind them, and provide address for White House and email.

   Dear Diane Ravitch: Teachers need your help to fight another injustice.

   You are a powerful, reasonable, and articulate voice and an invaluable resource and forum for teachers in this country. Your blog offers rebuttals to many injustices, including educational reform, corporate privatization of public schools, and the denigration of teachers. Teachers need your help now to fight another injustice…

   Please read my letter:

     Diane — I am gathering up the troops. We hope to get the snowball rolling and create an avalanche. I am asking each teacher to find 5 people who will also send a letter. The parents of my PTL are all on board!!

   Hi Diane
   I read on your schedule that you were heading to Australia and NZ early next year. Will you be going to Perth in West Australia? I would love the opportunity to hear you speak.

   Diane, you probably already know this, but just in case, because it’s not everybody who gets there… Tim Furman just called you a “rock star”. I could not agree more. Your army is massing behind you, waiting for your signal:
