Tonight, Mind of a Bronx Teacher’s guest will be Peggy Robertson of United Opt Out National. The Opt Out movement has been gaining traction recently, especially with Race to the Top metastasizing across the country. Those of us who wish to guide the teacher unions down a more democratic path would be well served to make common cause with United Opt Out. It has the potential to be a powerful tool of civil disobedience.

Then, this coming Thursday (March 8, 2012), I will be a guest on the Mom Madness show at 3pm on Harlem Talk Radio. The discussion will revolve around the new teacher evaluations for New York State and how they might impact the parents of New York City. Arne Duncan was a guest recently, so I hope to balance out the propaganda he spouted about Race to the Top.

Am interested in hearing your thoughts on the Harlem cast. Unfortunately, I am still in my classroom teaching at 3 pm. Will the link to the Harlem cast still be there at night so it can be replayed? I know I have listened to the South Bronx cast even a day later. Best wishes!
Thank you! I am sure it will still be up for a while. I am coming across podcasts of Mom Madness from a while ago. If anything, I will post it here if I don’t totally embarrass myself.
