I'm not really sure what the appropriate activities are during American Education Week...it's not as if we want to celebrate education just this week and not every other week of the year! Just thought I would point out the commemoration.
So I googled American Education Week and learned that it's a celebration sponsored by the National Education Association. Their annual tagline (I guess they choose a new one every year) is "Great Public Education: A Basic Right and our Responsibility." Hmmm and I thought this was going to be a boring little post. But this brings up the topic I tried to raise last week...is education a right? I happen to think it is, but I included a link last week to the blog of a teacher who feels it is not a basic right. I was surprised and curious what others think. No one has responded yet. Oh well, if you're reading this, I'll settle for just getting you to think about it for a minute.
