Written and edited by Norm Scott: EDUCATE! ORGANIZE!! MOBILIZE!!! Three pillars of The Resistance – providing information on current ed issues, organizing activities around fighting for public education in NYC and beyond and exposing the motives behind the education deformers. We link up with bands of resisters. Nothing will change unless WE ALL GET INVOLVED IN THE STRUGGLE!
"Why isn't the UFT standing up for children by fighting the high class sizes," asked a parent calling in? (paraphrase)Good question. He didn't have an answer. He doesn't have an answer when teachers ask the same question.

Why isn't the UFT leadership fighting for class size? Simple - they are not in the classroom and don't understand the reality of teaching. They don't know that those in the classroom want to be successful in their teaching. Class size has a tremendous impact on teaching and learning. Why do some parents pay $30,000 a year to send their children to private schools with registers of 12-15? Class size has meaning.
