How can teachers take back the education debate?

How can teachers take back the education debate from corporate reformers and politicians? On the next Your Call, we'll talk about what's next for public education in the U.S. 8,000 teachers rallied for the first time in DC last Saturday to oppose Obama's corporate reforms. Some said it was a success; others said protests don't work. What strategy do you think is needed to move public education in a healthy direction? Join us at 10 or email feedback@yourcallradio.org. What are teachers, parents, and students saying about the future of public schools? It's Your Call with Hana Baba and you.

Guests:
Anthony Cody, veteran teacher in the Oakland Unified School District and organizer of the Save Our Schools March

Alan Singer, social studies educator in the Department of Curriculum and Teaching at Hofstra University in Long Island, New York

Kelly Clark, 5th grade teacher at Harvey Milk Civil Rights Academy in San Francisco
