Organizers say the effort aims to galvanize and give voice to those who believe policymakers, including U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan and state governors, have gone astray in their remedies for improving American schools.

I completed my elementary and secondary education more than — he clicks his calculator app — 44 years ago, mostly in public schools, but with a brief stint in a parochial school and another in a military school. I have come to the late realization that those early teachers gave me more than I can ever repay, not only in knowledge of the many splendid arts and disciplines, but in their transmitting the very soul of democracy, education, and inquiry.
I find it rather curious that I spend the better part of my semi-retired days doing little more than reciting the lessons they taught me — “in my own words”, as they say.
They always said, “Yes, it will all be on the test”.
I just didn't know till now what they meant.
