Your reminder that it is our job to protect students from the ridiculousness of some education directives from those above us is crucial. If we don’t give feedback as teachers, parents, grandparents, citizens of the nation, how will this ridiculousness every be corrected? Our active, well articulated and well delivered feedback is the only way to bring a system that is out of balance back into balance.

Thanks for your leading the way.

Hi–Will Lily’s Tiny Bubbles speech, which was delivered at the MWRLC, be posted as a video sometime soon? I would love to share it with my local.

WOW That was AWESOME!!!So moving I am going to e-mail all of the teachers and Paras I work with to watch this. I am a Emotional Behavioral Disorder(EBD) Para. Sometime I feel like “What can I do to make a change”, but after yesterday I feel we can all make changes TOGETHER. This was my first leadership conference. I wish we as Presidents could get more members to attend some of these GREAT events. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO!!!!!!

You are a remarkable leader and a wonderful asset for America’s children and educators. Thank you for sharing your story and message at the Midwest Regional Conference. It is necessary that we advocate for educational policy that is not stupid!

I was blown away by your presentation at the Midwest Regional Conference in Minneapolis as well. I went to school today so excited to share about your presentation. It was so refreshing to hear you speak of such truth. You said exactly what teachers all around the U.S. are saying, yet, we feel as though no one hears us. However, it gave me so much excitement and joy to know that you, as well as the NEA are speaking on our behalf everywhere and sharing what our hearts and our minds are thinking all across America. Thank you! You have inspired me to teach. To truly teach and do what God gifted me to do. My inner creativity began to sparkle again today. So, again I say thank you!

I thoroughly enjoyed your closing presentation on Sunday at the Midwest Regional Conference in Minneapolis. I want to thank you for the “professional CPR” I received.
Your words had me laughing on the outside for what once was, and crying on the inside for what is now at the same time. Please place a video of this speech on your website, or the NEA website so it can be shared with teachers, parents, students, and administrators across the US. Perhaps, send a copy (special delivery) to Arne Duncan and his staff, too.
This message is far too valuable for only conference attendees to hear.

Thank you so much for all you had to say yesterday at the MWRLC in Minneapolis. You gave us a lot to ponder and a lot of laughs. We all needed that. I am the Parent Coordinator for our Early Childhood At Risk/blended program but am also the President of our Wall-to-Wall union. I want to make sure that I bring back all the valuable info to present to our members, and knowing you speech will be on your blackboard will take a little pressure off me remembering every little detail you said. Thank you again for sharing your time and stories with us.
