Week of Actions Planned in DC to &quotSave Our Schools"(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)Next week educators, teachers and parents from across the country will converge on DC “to reclaim schools as places of learning, joy, and democracy.” The Save Our Schools March & National Call to Action -- endorsed by both the AFT and NEA -- seeks to organize “to revitalize an education system that, for too many children, focuses more on test preparation than actual education.” A major Save Our Schools march on the White House on Saturday, July 30 will be preceded by a series of education-themed events and actions, including a film festival July 25th- 29th, conferences promoting educational activism July 28th and 29th, the March on the White House July 30th, and a congress deciding future goals July 31st.
