Edu-Independence In Colorado
Bigtime kudos to Colorado Senate President Peter Groff (featured over on our DFER Heroes page) on the new "rescue public education from its own chilly grip" law - signed yesterday by Gov. Bill Ritter .
Groff and the staff at Denver's Bruce Randolph Middle School took a lot of heat for boldly deciding that business as usual within the system was simply not good for students and for finding educator-friendly ways to give more children what they need.
Amazing that allowing teachers to teach is still considered so controversial among so many school board and dues-collecting employee groups.
Denver Post story on the bill signing is here.
