(4 pm 10/19. Bumped from 2 pm Sunday, 10/16. – promoted by ek hornbeck)
Dear Seattle Teachers and Seattle Education Advocates –
On Wed. 19 Oct the ballots go in the mail for the Seattle School Board election of Tues. 8 November.
WE each need to get 5 people WE know to vote for the FOUR challengers to the school board.
– Do YOU want to be on Strike in Sept. 2013 because the fellow travelers of Maria Goodloe-Johnson’s management by disruption, confusion and chaos have changed their tunes but NOT their behaviors?
NOTE:
–The more disruptions from downtown, the less we can help our kids.
–The more the school board is dancing to the tunes of education “reformers” who RARELY help us do our jobs better, the more disruptions from downtown.**
–The LESS we participate in elections, the more the school board dances and the more downtown disrupts.
— This really doesn’t require a mountain of degrees to figure out, because it is simple cause and effect.
Read the words of a Tacoma teacher who has taught at Lincoln High School for 21 years and who was on strike this year –
DO YOU WANT THESE EXPERIENCES?

WE each need to get 5 people WE know to vote for the FOUR challengers to the school board.
On the weekend of Saturday the 22nd and Sunday the 23rd of October – email or call 5 friends or relatives living in Seattle:
TELL them to get their ballots,
TELL them to open the ballots,
TELL them we get incessant new directives,
TELL them we get lots of highly paid bosses churning our directives,
TELL them how much help YOU get for YOUR kids in YOUR class, and
TELL THEM HOW TO VOTE. Period.
Remember – most people haven’t a clue about the School Board – you do.

Then should the warlike Harry,

and at his heels, Leash’d in like hounds,

FIRST SET:
to as many of the teachers I know as I could dig out of my emails – on the bcc line, cuz, not all of them love all the others.
SECOND SET:
To local leaders of the teacher’s union in Seattle,
BCC to ALL the education activists I could dig out of old emails.
(there are about 50 on this BCC list!)
— COMMENT
it is frowned upon to say anything in public which could be construed as “negative” about what our union is doing … yawn.
how come a union which collects tens of millions of dollars a year in dues from across the state does NOT have a permanent election apparatus to INSURE these kind of election stuff nuts and bolts of election are done?
DON’T ALL SCHOOL BOARD RACES IN WASHINGTON STATE MATTER?
