Please help elect one of TFA's very own even if you can just spare an hour or two in West-Central Phoenix. You can even hand out campaign lit. to Trick-Or-Treaters' parents bored to death on 10/31. It's better to ACT NOW than to react later! Call Carl for exact details @ (602) 920-7831. Tell Carl that David "sent you" as a treat, not a trick...

Avoid long lines: Vote Early @ Glendale Adult Center next to Main Library until 5pm daily. Otherwise vote before school to avoid the long lines- 2006 witnessed some polling places with 3 hour waits after work! If you've got an early ballot, you can drop it off at any polling place & can head to the front of the line.
Rather than experience shocking budget cuts to ED in 2009, work for candidates like Jackie Thrasher (ASU West Area/Glendale/Phoenix) for AZ House and Angela Cotera for AZ Senate (Avondale/Goodyear) in this final phase of the election.

Not Making Progress
This week, the New York City public schools released their second set of annual progress reports ini which every school receives a single letter grade to let parents know how good the school is. Like many of the Bloomberg/Klein reforms, it sounds good in theory, but doesn't make much sense in practice.

Educational Shock and Awe
The conventional wisdom pendulum on urban education reform has swung hard to the side of the KIPP model, emphasizing a regimen of test-prep, test-prep, test-prep, no-nonsense discipline. Like a shock and awe military campaign, this may have some initial spectacular success, but when the flash and bang fade away, is this really the best way to prepare kids for the future?
