I wrote this essay “No Constitutional Rights” in 2004,
http://www.speakingasateacher.com/SPEAKING_AS_A_TEACHER/No_Constitutional_Rights-_A_hidden_scandal_of_National_Proportion.html

at the top of my career when the war on teachers was in full swing so that the schools could fail, and be monetarized and public education could be controlled. Please read it, because this is where the investigation should begin… on the assault on Americans who just happened to be teachers, depriving them of their right to due process, and sending over a hundred thousand educated, dedicated professionals out of the school door, in the most despicable manner.

I have said this before and I will say it again now that I am no longer alone in witnessing how this PLAN to empty the schools of the professionals by making testing the benchmark, and usurping the national conversation! The Duncan narrative which became the national conversation about TEACHING, ignored the real purpose of education LEARNING.
