The Newark Students Union started a Go Fund Me page “Send NSU to NPE 2016” to raise money so some members can attend. I hope some of Dr Ravitch’s readers will help them.

Does the fact that this conference is being held in NC have to do with the changes we saw with RttT and the fact that parents are choosing charters because now they have more to choose from and rampant testing and CCSS and VAM, or is it because of these issues? (I genuinely want to know).
