The E-Accountability Foundation announces the
'A for Accountability' Award
to those who are willing to whistleblow unjust, misleading, or false actions and claims of the politico-educational complex in order to bring about educational reform in favor of children of all races, intellectual ability and economic status. They ask questions that need to be asked, such as "where is the money?" and "Why does it have to be this way?" and they never give up. These people have withstood adversity and have held those who seem not to believe in honesty, integrity and compassion accountable for their actions. The winners of our "A" work to expose wrong-doing not for themselves, but for others - total strangers - for the "Greater Good"of the community and, by their actions, exemplify courage and self-less passion. They are parent advocates. We salute you.
Winners of the "A":
Johnnie Mae Allen
David Possner
Dee Alpert
Aaron Carr
Harris Lirtzman
Hipolito Colon
Larry Fisher
The Giraffe Project and Giraffe Heroes' Program
Jimmy Kilpatrick and George Scott

Matthew LaClair
Wangari Maathai
Erich Martel
Steve Orel, in memoriam, Interversity, and The World of Opportunity

LINK Kids are learning less and we're spending more. Half the kids entering local colleges need remedial math and English. From teachers raping their students to administrators stealing, the moral climate in our schools is alarming Many conservatives were content to allow the federal government an unprecedented encroachment into education on the grounds that somebody needed to hold the schools accountable. Yet the feds are already caving on NCLB. Worse, local schools have figured ways to game accountability tests, as have the states. The NAEP is NOT the nation's report card because the rules are not uniform. Despite all odds we succeeded in running off one tyrant and assuming control over our own lives in 1776 and we can do so again. The same can-do blood runs through our veins as it did in our forefathers.' Today's tyrants don't dress in ermine and royal robes. Instead they wear business suits and assign themselves the best parking spot at the administration building in our local school districts. I'm going to stop here because I'd rather focus on solving this mess than creating a litany. The Second Revolution--made possible by the Internet The Internet has allowed us to be in touch with each other in ways that those who came before us could only dream of. We who have been involved in holding our schools accountable at the grassroots level are finding each other, sharing our stories and experiences and finding similarities and common themes. The Internet has also allowed us to begin to hold our schools accountable. I myself file most of my public records requests by email (see "Accountability" for step-by-step directions).
