Ideally, become a delegate -- which might seem a waste of time but if MORE can get something going help at the very least build a true opposition within the DA -- it would take say a hundred people acting in concert to have some impact to counter the Unity machine there. The union will never change based on the elections but only as school are captured by the opposition and begin to affect the DA. Given that only 800 people show at DAs this is possible. I can see a day where enough people can force changes - and if not I can see a mass walkout and demo in front demanding changes. ed notes onlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15018047869059226777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-60525918139458154752013-08-30T18:33:07.079-04:002013-08-30T18:33:07.079-04:00Thanks so much for the shout out!

As you point out, some of my genuine allies don't seem to be interested in what we have to say in the blogosphere, unless we're a mean jerk or something. So, on the one hand, why bother? <br />And then on the other hand, there are people like you who successfully live in both worlds and understand how each works. So when you say it takes more than being a keyboard warrior, you (are about the only person on the planet who) sound(s) quite credible. So, as always, your thoughts leave me thinking. <br /><br />Thanks again!UrbanEdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044618498302353334noreply@blogger.com
