Who would of thought that the zinger would come from Obama and aimed squarely at every teacher watching? It was barely a few minutes into the debate when President Obama brought up Race to the Top as a positive example of what his administration has done for education.

Zing! He brought it up several times later. Zing! Zing!

There was more in Obama’s performance that was pretty awful. But since education has not exactly been a hot topic in this campaign, it surprised me that we were the zinger we have been waiting for.

Which is why I will take part in the October 17 letter to Obama action proposed by Diane Ravitch.

Many teachers don't need to be won back. It's condescending and presumptuous. NYC_SKP Oct 2012 #10
