      That’s a tough one, but I would go to a reputable lawyer near you. It might help to find others who have the same concerns. Good luck, Cliff.

If you're not paying attention to what's happening to public schools, and how they're being privatized, start here with @tultican. https://tultican.com/2023/03/23/the-oligarchs-education-propaganda-distributor/

Worrisome indeed. And read-alouds are not enough. How might we create opportunities for rich & varied experiences with texts from the start? How can we be sure that Ss are encouraged & not limited by instruction? https://twitter.com/NancyEBailey1/status/1640105213276180480

Science of Reading camp never discusses the importance of picture books. How much time do children get to explore them? How often are they read to for enjoyment? This is worrisome. https://nancyebailey.com/2023/03/26/the-science-of-reading-and-the-rejection-of-picture-books/

Unstructured play has been driven out of early childhood classrooms for years! Goals are to micromanage everything a child does. Few seem to connect play's importance to learning & mental health, or they don't care if schools fail. https://twitter.com/Cabal_Educator/status/1630938079170109440

Let them play!
