Tomorrow morning Karen Hendren and I will be on the national morning news show, Fox and Friends, bright and early. Setting my alarm for 3 is strange. Its completely worth it in the end. I cant eloquently or drastically express how humbled I am by the support from parents, teachers, advocates, strangers, and the media. There are a lot of people that want to see the little guy win. Most importantly, the little guy is the child. Its easy to get hyped up and excited when things move in the direction you are hoping. My prayer is that we remain humbled, focused, and strong on our goal to advocate for children. The past 15 days have been an emotional roller coaster with occurrences I still cannot wrap my mind around. Tomorrow is all about the little guy. They deserve time to learn, explore their curiosities, discover new ideas and objects, and inquire about the world around them. They deserve a teacher that scaffolds and guides those authentic moments. They deserve the best. Over-testing, especially high stakes testing, is killing that. It must end.
