I'm involved with Great Education Colorado (GEC), which has released another humorous "Granny" video to tell the story of how chronic underfunding of public education is hurting Colorado's kids and classrooms.
The 45-second video (2nd in a series of 5) pokes fun at the painful truth that many Colorado students are forced to use hopelessly outdated textbooks--including geography books still featuring the U.S.S.R.--due to lack of funding for new books. The comical, well-meaning Granny is clueless about how schools--including her grandson's--are suffering.
You also can go see the video AND sign a petition supporting public education at http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/2700/t/5492/petition.jsp?petition_KEY=861.
If you're moved by the message, please pass it on!
GEC--a statewide, nonprofit, nonpartisan organization of parents and other public school supporters--works to focus attention on the need for better funding for public schools, bring people together to create a vision of 21st century education, and advocate for all public education reforms to be accompanied by adequate resources.
