Public Agenda Alert -- September 5, 2013 This Week's Headlines How to Boost Teacher Voice in Policy Tell Your Success Story Engaging Ideas Quick Links Donate Today!    Click here to subscribe to this newsletter How to Boost Teacher Voice in Policy A version of this commentary was published in Education Week. For practical resources that teachers can use to lead discussions on evaluation reform, check out Everyone at the Table.  The push to involve teachers in policy design and implementation is not new. Teachers' unions historically have served as (sometimes the only) mouthpiece for teachers in policy. In the past five years, other kinds of grassroots teacher-voice organizations have sprouted too, including Educators 4 Excellence, Teach Plus, and VIVA Teachers.   As the school year commences, how can teachers and principals leverage the growing interest in teacher voice to improve teacher engagement at their own schools? Many teachers can probably already think of a few colleagues in their school or district who are ready to jump at the chance to discuss, say, teacher evaluation and common-core implementation. But what do the other teachers think? The most sustainable policy is the one that based on the widest range of perspectives. Teachers and education leaders should reach out to include those sidelined from the policy debate and to those who hold opinions different from their own. At a meeting this summer of state teachers of the year, Philip Bigler, the 1998 national teacher of the year, said: "When I was a regular classroom teacher, nobody wanted my opinion. ... Once I became the national teacher of the year, everyone wanted to speak to me and assumed I was an expert on everything. But even when I was a regular classroom teacher, I still had a lot to say." Teacher-leaders and advocates have many things of importance to say about teaching, but so do "regular classroom teachers." When it comes to education reform, teachers and others have tough, emotional conversations ahead. Teacher evaluation and preparation, performance-based compensation, instruction, and classroom management, for instance, are often deeply personal, emotionally fraught, politically heated, and mind-bogglingly complex. Leading conversations around them is so challenging that it's tempting to sit some out. To move forward, all players must determine common ground and acceptable compromises. Even when a conversation stays on track and focused on solutions, how can participants identify shared interests? How can they navigate contentions? How do they separate solutions that all will view as workable from those likely to fail upon implementation? This will be hard work, but it will be worth it. It's also not unprecedented:  Many teachers are already engaging their colleagues and informing policy, and they're doing it very well. The nation is facing many complex issues in education policy. Through an appreciation for teachers' experiences, insights, and ideas, and a commitment to genuine collaboration, teachers and education leaders can lead the way on meaningful education improvement. Successful Schools: Tell Your Story Amid the sometimes negative clatter surrounding public education, stories of success can break through the pessimism. We learned that first hand when we studied nine schools in Ohio that beat the odds and demonstrated outstanding academic achievement despite tight budgets and a large proportion of low-income students. The stories of these schools are included in "Failure Is Not an Option," our report from last year. We hope these stories can inspire principals and teachers as they tackle the new school year. The practices that the nine high-achieving Ohio schools implement do not address all of the challenges we must overcome to improve our education system. However, their stories both provide a reason to celebrate and underscore the principles that educators and school leaders can adopt to improve achievement within the doors of their own schools. At all of these schools, excellent leadership was one key ingredient for driving student success. And excellent leaders in these schools are not all that different from excellent leaders in other sectors. They build and maintain a culture of high expectations. They promote teamwork, collaboration, and data-informed self-evaluation. They lead by example, emphasize improvement, and hire with care and strategy. They celebrate success and spread the credit around. Though strong leadership won't be a cure-all for every struggling school, we hope that the excellent leaders profiled in "Failure Is Not an Option" can, by example, generate more success stories in Ohio and beyond.   Engaging Ideas Expecting the Best Yields Results in Massachusetts In math and science, students in Massachusetts are out-preforming the rest of the world. What lessons can be learned from the progress to improve education in this state? Federal Survey Examines Parent Engagement in Education A new survey from the National Center for Education Statistics found that while parents say they are satisfied with their school, only 52 are satisfied with the way their school staff interacts with parents. For recommendations on how to meet parents where they are, have a look at our survey of parent attitudes toward engagement in the Kansas City region.  Three in four Americans see public opinion polling as biased The public opinion poll about the public's distrust of opinion polling (phew!) may have one positive caveat - those who participate in surveys aren't afraid of being honest and offending the pollster. 9 Questions About Syria You Were Too Embarrassed to Ask Pressure is mounting over how the U.S. should address President Bashar al-Assad's use of chemical weapons.

American Minute with Bill Federer SEPT. 4 - The Fall of Rome

American Minute with Bill Federer SEPT. 4 - The Fall of Rome THE FALL OF ROME was a culmination of several external and internal factors. GREAT WALL OF CHINA: By 220AD, the Later Eastern Han Dynasty had extended sections of the Great Wall of China along its Mongolian border. This resulted in the Northern Huns attacking west instead of east. This caused a domino effect of tribes migrating west across Central Asia, and overrunning the Western Roman Empire. OPEN BORDERS: Illegal immigrants poured across the Roman borders: Visigoths, Ostrogoths, Franks, Anglos, Saxons, Alemanni, Thuringians, Rugians, Jutes, Picts, Burgundians, Lombards, Alans, Vandals, as well as African Berbers and Arab raiders. Will and Ariel Durant wrote in The Story of Civilization (Vol. 3-Caesar and Christ, Simon & Schuster, 1944, p. 366): "If Rome had not engulfed so many men of alien blood in so brief a time, if she had passed all these newcomers through her schools instead of her slums, if she had treated them as men with a hundred potential excellences, if she had occasionally closed her gates to let assimilation catch up with infiltration, she might have gained new racial and literary vitality from the infusion, and might have remained a Roman Rome, the voice and citadel of the West." LOSS OF COMMON LANGUAGE: At first immigrants assimilated and learned the Latin language. They worked as servants with many rising to leadership. But then they came so fast they did not learn Latin, but instead created a mix of Latin with their own Germanic, Frankish and Anglo tribal tongues. The unity of the Roman Empire began to dissolve. THE WELFARE STATE: "Bread and the Circus!" Starting in 123 BC, Emperor Caius Gracchus began appeasing citizens with welfare, a monthly hand-out of a free dole (handout) of grain. Roman poet Juvenal (circa 100 AD) described how Roman emperors controlled the masses by keeping them ignorant and obsessed with self-indulgence, so that they would be distracted and not throw them out of office, which they might do if they realized the true condition of the Empire: "Already long ago, from when we sold our vote to no man, the People have abdicated our duties; for the People who ONCE UPON A TIME handed out military command, high civil office, legions - everything, NOW restrains itself and anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and circuses." The Durants wrote in The Lessons of History (p. 92): "The concentration of population and poverty in great cities may compel a government to choose between ENFEEBLING THE ECONOMY WITH A DOLE or running the risk of riot and revolution." Welfare and government jobs exploded, as recorded in Great Ages of Man-Barbarian Europe (NY: Time-Life Books, 1968, p. 39), one Roman commented: "Those who live at the expense of the public funds are more numerous than those who provide them." VIOLENT ENTERTAINMENT: The Circus Maximus and Coliseum were packed with crowds of Romans engrossed with violent entertainment, games, chariot races, and until 404 AD, gladiators fighting to the death. Gerald Simons wrote in Great Ages of Man-Barbarian Europe (NY: Time-Life Books, 1968, p. 20): "In the causal brutality of its public spectacles, in a rampant immorality that even Christianity could not check." Get the book, Change to Chains-the 6,000 year quest for global control CLASS WARFARE: City centers were abandoned by the upper class, who bought up farms from rural landowners and transformed them into palatial estates. The Durants wrote in The Story of Civilization (Vol. 3-Caesar and Christ, Simon & Schuster, 1944, p.90): "The Roman landowner disappeared now that ownership was concentrated in a few families, and a proletariat without stake in the country filled the slums of Rome." Inner cities were destabilized, being also plagued with lead poisoning, as water was brought in through lead pipes. ("plumb" or "plumbing" is the Latin word for "lead.") The value of human life was low. Slavery and sex-trafficking abounded, especially of captured peoples from Eastern Europe. "Slavs," which meant "glorious" came to have the inglorious meaning of a permanent servant or "slave." (Great Ages, p. 18). TAXES: Taxes became unbearable, as "collectors became greedy functionaries in a bureaucracy so huge and corrupt." Tax collectors were described by the historian Salvian as "more terrible than the enemy." (Great Ages, p. 20). Arther Ferrill wrote in The Fall of the Roman Empire: The Military Explanation (New York: Thames and Hudson Ltd., 1986): "The chief cause of the agricultural decline was high taxation on the marginal land, driving it out of cultivation." Get the DVD, Change to Chains (eight 30 minute episodes) There was a loss of patriotism, wealth began to flee the Empire, and with it, the spirit of liberty. President William Henry Harrison warned in his Inaugural Address, 1841: "It was the beautiful remark of a distinguished English writer that 'in the Roman senate Octavius had a party and Antony a party, but the Commonwealth had none'... The spirit of liberty had fled, and, avoiding the abodes of civilized man, had sought protection in the wilds of Scythia or Scandinavia; and so under the operation of the same causes and influences it will fly from our Capitol and our forums." More recently, John F. Kennedy observed, January 6, 1961: "Present tax laws may be stimulating in undue amounts the flow of American capital to industrial countries abroad." OUTSOURCING: Rome's economy stagnated from a large trade deficit, as grain production was outsourced to North Africa. Gerald Simons wrote in Great Ages of Man-Barbarian Europe (NY: Time-Life Books, 1968, p. 39): "As conquerors of North Africa, the Vandals cut off the Empire's grain supply at will. This created critical food shortages, which in turn curtailed Roman counterattacks." DEBT PRECEDED FALL: Rome was crippled by huge government bureaucracies and enormous public debt. The Durants wrote in The Lessons of History (p. 92): "Huge bureaucratic machinery was unable to govern the empire effectively with the enormous, out-of-control debt." In Great Ages of Man-Barbarian Europe (NY: Time-Life Books, 1968, p. 20), Gerald Simons wrote: "The Western Roman economy, already undermined by falling production of the great Roman estates and an unfavorable balance of trade that siphoned off gold to the East, had now run out of money." SELF-PROMOTING & CORRUPT POLITICIANS: The Durants wrote in The Lessons of History (p. 92): "The educated and skilled pursued business and financial success to the neglect of their involvement in politics." Richard A. Todd wrote in "The Fall of the Roman Empire" (Eerdmans' Handbook to the History of Christianity, Grand Rapids, MI: Wm. B. Eerdmans Co., 1977, p. 184): "The church, while preaching against abuses, contributed to the decline by discouraging good Christians from holding public office." CHANGING DEMOGRAPHICS: Roman families had fewer children. Some would sell unwanted children into slavery or, up until 374 AD, leave them outside exposed to the weather to die. The Durants wrote in The Story of Civilization, Vol. 3-Caesar and Christ (Simon & Schuster, 1944, p. 134): "Children were now luxuries which only the poor could afford." IMMORALITY: There was court favoritism, the patronage system, injustice in the legal system, infidelity, perverted bathhouses, sexual immorality, gluttony, and gymnasiums ("gym" being the Greek word for naked). 5th-Century historian Salvian wrote: "For all the lurid Roman tales of their atrocities...the barbarians displayed...a good deal more fidelity to their wives." (Great Ages, p. 13.) Salvian continued: "O Roman people be ashamed; be ashamed of your lives. Almost no cities are free of evil dens, are altogether free of impurities, except the cities in which the barbarians have begun to live... Let nobody think otherwise, the vices of our bad lives have alone conquered us... The Goths lie, but are chaste, the Franks lie, but are generous, the Saxons are savage in cruelty...but are admirable in chastity... What hope can there be for the Romans when the barbarians are more pure than they? Samuel Adams wrote to John Scollay of Boston, April 30, 1776: "The diminution of public virtue is usually attended with that of public happiness, and the public liberty will not long survive the total extinction of morals. 'The Roman Empire,' says the historian, 'must have sunk, though the Goths had not invaded it. Why? Because the Roman virtue was sunk.'" MILITARY CUTS: Though militarily superior and marching on advanced road systems, the highly trained Roman Legions were strained fighting conflicts from the Rhine River to the Sassanid Persian Empire. Roman borders were over-extended and the military defending them was cut back to dangerously low ranks. The Durants wrote in The Story of Civilization (Vol. 3-Caesar and Christ, Simon & Schuster, 1944, p.90): "The new generation, having inherited world mastery, had no time or inclination to defend it; that readiness for war which had characterized the Roman landowner disappeared." TERRORIST ATTACKS: Pope Leo rode out to meet Attila in 452AD, and persuaded him not to sack Rome, delaying the inevitable a few more decades. Finally the barbarian Chieftain Odoacer attacked, and Rome is considered to have officially fallen on SEPTEMBER 4, 476AD.

Liberty Quotes- Indira Gandhi, Lao-Tzu, Rick Gaber

"My grandfather once told me that there are two kinds of people: those who work and those who take the credit. He told me to try to be in the first group; there was less competition there."
-- Indira Gandhi
(1917-1984) Prime Minister of India
http://quotes.liberty-tree.ca/quote_blog/Indira.Gandhi.Quote.1918


"Without law or compulsion, men would dwell in harmony."
-- Lao-Tzu
[Li Erh] (570-490 BC) 'Old Sage', Father of Taoism
Source: Tao Te Ching
http://quotes.liberty-tree.ca/quote_blog/Lao-Tzu.Quote.F7E5


"Many academicians and self-styled intellectuals, with a habitually arrogant
and condescending attitude, treat the rest of the world with contempt.  These
so-called 'intelligentsia' congratulate themselves for, not only having high
IQs and lots of education in their particular fields, but for having achieved
the allegedly momentus insight that free-market capitalism and altruism are
ultimately incompatible (duh).  Yet they're still too damned stupid to realize
and too damned ignorant to acknowledge that altruism is NOT the only moral code
available to mankind.  (It is, in fact, the bloodiest and most regressive one
of all).  This stunted thinking has resulted in their committing the
intellectual atrocity of rejecting the capitalism and freedom instead of the
altruism and coercion."
-- Rick Gaber
