I write about the relationship between a sustainable and successful democracy and a strong, well-supported public school system. The building blocks of a good public school system and democracy are the same.
My unpublished book is titled Dear Democracy, You need us for your success. Sincerely, Public Schools.
Over the course of the coming days and weeks, this space will grow into the following four different sections.
1) History and current events related to democracy and public schools
2) Letters that I write to Thomas Jefferson
3) The serial release of a fictional story about two teachers: Scrambling for Voice, Choice, and Agency
4) The Adventures of the Small Spies, an ongoing series of conversations between Turtle, Salamander, Spider, and Cement Mixer
Some of it will be very serious. We live in a time when democracy is imperiled. When the Small Spies get together and discuss democracy and other topics, it adds humor and lightness to the stark reality of the polarized world we live in today.
