Wait, What? is dedicated to shining the light of truth on
the Corporate Education Reform Industry’s efforts to privatize public education and to speak out
on the political and policy issues that threaten the people of Connecticut.
With
the assistance, participation, and financial support of many readers, Wait What?
has attracted well over 2 million visits and produced nearly 30,000 comments
since its inception in January 2011.
Wait,
What? commentary pieces have regularly appeared on Diane Ravitch’s blog, as
well as, in the Washington Post, Progressive Magazine, Truthout and dozens of
national, regional and state publications.
The
Wait, What? platform has also served as an important platform for other education
advocates to add their voices to the battle to promote public education and
fight for our students, parents, teachers and public schools.
And
at a time when many in the media and politics run and hide from the serious
problems and challenges that face Connecticut, Wait, What? has become a vital vehicle
in the effort to speak the truth and hold our elected officials accountable.
With
your help, Wait, What? will continue its role.
In
addition, as the blog’s creator, I’m beginning a series of in-depth, long-form investigative
pieces on how the wealthy and corporate interests behind charter schools, the
Common Core, the Common Core testing scam and the anti-teacher agenda are
undermining our democracy at the state and local level.
Without
the financial backing of big corporations, foundations or interest groups,
Wait, What’s support comes from reader donations - financial support that is extremely
important and greatly appreciated.
For
those who have been so generous in the past, your continued support is needed.
And
for those who have not donated, but read the posts or believe that Wait, What?
is helping raise awareness and drive the political debate, please do what you
can to help the cause.
