Thanks for the invite, Lynn. I'm Deven Black,@devenkblack on Twitter. I am a middle school librarian in NYC who is trying to bring a tech-lacking school into the 21st (or in some cases, late 20th) Century. I am constantly learning and always looking to share what I learn (except everyone else seems to know it first).

I had the privilege to be taught by Gatto early in his career. I think it is time for a  national teacher's strike. One day -- preferably the day some major test is given -- and maybe then we can get a seat at the policy table.

I criticize my country's policies, of its leaders & of its legislatures. I am happy and proud to live in a country where I can be so critical without fear of prosecution, persecution or other punishment.

Happy Independence Day!

Found out today I'm going to be speaking at the 140Edu conference in NYC at the end of July/start of August on the topic of Making Dropping Out of School Work for You. Teachers can attend for $1.40 for the two days. It is one of the best bargains anywhere.

If you have to cut a grade of school to meet the tax cap, would you cut kindergarten or 12th? Or perhaps a different grade entirely.
