Big Education Ape: Ed Notes Online: Stop the Machine: Put your ...

?There's a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part! You can't even passively take part! And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels?upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop! And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!? ... Mario Salvio, 1964
When is enough enough for teachers, parents and students under assault?

Leonie sent this in response to organizing efforts around the opt-out movement by parents who are increasingly losing their fear of consequences.

I suggest that you reference Mario Savio?s great speech in 1964; video here:If you haven?t seen this speech, you must.? It is one of the great political speeches in history.


Popout

There comes a time when the fear of consequences of taking action disappear. When this occurs in enough people to make a critical mass, the monster putting a pillow on people's faces is defeated.

So it will be with ed deform. Whether the growing opt-out movement by parents or teachers refusing to take part in giving useless tests in Seattle, or here in the UFT where MORE people are tired of the UFT's capitulation in?
